2,967 Files in \WINDOWS

[rstoyguy]

I was poking around and did a summary of the \windows directory. Got tired of the lag in file explorers when opening this dir.

These are the file types and quantity of them I found. What files can be relocated and what regedit changes that. I'm sure that cleaning up this directory just might speed up things a bit! (File types with less than 5 are not listed)

What do you cooks think?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that when you build a ROM... all files are moved into the Windows directory. You can copy the files out to other locations on the phone's file structure.

I've been trying to move files via provxml, but so far I have been unsuccessful for some of the files.

Yup, cooked ROMS move all files to the windows dir.
