Noob assistance please!

I am completely new to all of this and haven't been able to find an answer to this from searching. Is there a way to copy files to another directory besides windows. For example I would like to have my ringtones go to the application data\sounds folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Out of curiosity, why?

I just want to customize my rom so once I flash it everything is already setup. Unless someone can tell me another way. I copied them all to the windows directory but they don't show up in the options to select a ringtone.

Ahhhh, its a registry entry

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\CONTROLPANEL\SOUNDS]
  "Ringtones"=multi_sz:"Windows Default.wav", "Mystic .wma", "Terrestrial .wma", "Jig .wma", "Ringer .wav",\
  "Fantasy .wma", "OldPhone .wma", "RoaringGuitar .wma", "Vision .wma", "WindowsMobile .wma", "Rewinding .wma",\
  "Pondering .wma", "Plucking .wma", "Midnight .wma", "Dawn .wma"

you copy those files to other directories you've lost all the advantages of burning them into the rom.

only \windows is on the rom. If you customize by copying them to another location they are taking up space you could be using for other storage!!!

For ringtones, you can put the files into \windows, and then there is a registry setting that you specify what files are "selectable" as ringtones. Thats the way to approact, or otherwise you're better off just loading them elsewhere.

I guess you COULD put them on extrom, and then setup links there, that should work as well.

That's exactly what I needed. Thanks a lot!

OK this is a little off topic but is a noob question. I have tried everything in the world to get my bluetooth headset to work with the voicecommand oem. I have tried every reg hack I can find. Still when I hit the button I get nothing. When I use the phones button to launch it it doesn't accept any commands. Again any help would be greatly appreciated.

[colonel]

Once the rom is installed, are you putting voicecmd.exe in the \Windows folder? The OEM is missing this .exe because it is a commercial app. If you own VC you will be able to get this .exe.

[crawrj]

yes I have done that.

OK Never mind I just fixed it. One last question. Atleast for now How do you get announcement over bluetooth to work. Mine starts to go to the headset and then goes back to the speaker.
