Open documents from IPAQ File Store

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Is there a trick to open files, i.e Word documents, etc. if they are stored
on the iPAQ File store vice the Main storage? When I open an app and select
"All Folders" to open a file only the files stored in main storage are
available?

I suspect the "Ignore_my_docs" file is giving you a problem. See

I read the thread and tried removing, renaming that file and all that
happens is the OS (PPC 2003 SE) re-creates it. So, unless there is an
alternate workaround the only way I can see is you have to go directly to
the file and open from there vice using the apps folder browser to locate
it?

It's interesting that you wrote that two and a half years ago, yet
that crude approach still remains unchanged by Microsoft.

I'd hoped that on upgrading my WM2003 ROM recently I'd have found file
opening had been improved ;-(
