Are you saying I can go in and find these in Windows or the Program folder and move them to storage without there being a disruption in the usage?

I know this is probably asking a lot, but could you give me a strict example of what you mean? I just want to be clear.


Also do you know why the device memory goes down when I clearly see in the "Remove Apps" window that they are installed on my storage card?

Thanks.
Sorry, I should have been more specific about locations. No, you can't move apps around once installed. Well, you can but it's so complicated that I wouldn't want to attempt it. Advanced Config manipulates the registry settings for default storage locations, among other things.

Once installed, go to Start/Advanced Config (or Start/Programs/Advanced Config - I can't remember CF03) and open the app. You will see a list of settings grouped by function. User Interface, Today, Performances, Power Management, etc. Scroll down to Locations and click on the + box. A list of folders (Program files, My Documents, Desktop, etc) and Default Storage Locations (Image files, Audio files, video files, etc) will appear. You can set the absolute location for these folders and files.

For instance the default location for IE cache is "\My Storage\Internet\Temporary Internet Files". You can change it to "\Storage Card\Internet\Temporary Internet Files". I have my default images file set to "\Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures".

Advanced Config doesn't appear to set the default messaging storage location. I'll have to look around for that. It will turn threading on or off, and other things mostly to do with SMS.

In the User Interface portion of Advanced Config you can set your scroll bar width, icon sizes, etc.

Install it, look around and then post specific questions. In Menu there is a Restore Settings command, just in case. In Other Settings (in Menu) you can map keys, manipulate file associations, etc.

All in all, I wouldn't leave home without it.
