How To: More memory is not enough

We never have enough memory because the more memory we have the faster our device as well. Most applications want to install themselves to the device memory, but with some tweaks it is possible to force them to save data to the storage card. First you will need to have a registry editor and secondly you must be very careful. You must not play with the registry if you don't know how to. You're doing this at your own risk. Else, open up your registry editor as we're going to change the settings for Internet Explorer and the inbox so that Temp files, cookies, History and emails are moved and stored to the Storage card.

Go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders And change the following keys to show:
\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Temporary Internet Files
\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Cookies
\Storage Card\Pocket IE\History This will ensure all your IE cache goes on your storage card.

Create the following folders on your Storage Card:
\Storage Card\Inbox
\Storage Card\Inbox\Attachments, Next, create the following registry entries:- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MAPI:
AttachPath=\Storage Card\Inbox\Attachments
PropertyPath=\Storage Card\Inbox
