Editing Registry in Virtual Explorer

2009-08-18T15:46:27-08:00

I have a Pharos GPS 535e PDA running Windows Mobile 5. It is also running a Forest Service application that by default saves data to a 2 GB SD-CARD as Storage Card which it doesn’t recognize since the SD-CARD is “named” SD-MMCard. The PDA is also running Virtual Explorer. I found a thread somewhere which suggested that to solve this problem the registry needed editing such that the key folder value for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemStorageManagerProfilesSDMemory should be changed to Storage Card. Some additional changes to registry key folder values were suggested as well.

My question is this: I can navigate without any problem in Virtual Explorer to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemStorageManagerProfilesSDMemory. However, I can’t figure out what to do next (i.e. how to edit the key folder value) in Virtual Explorer. Please advise if editing the key folder value is possible and if so, how so.

Thanks.

Update to original post: problem solved, although not with Virtual Explorer. Registry key needed to be tweaked which was done with PHM Regedit.
