Moving Programs From Program Folder to SD CArd

[KimChee]

I'm in the process of freeing up some of the onboard memory from programs that are stored in RAM to the SD card, however I also want them to be accessible so that I can use them with the shortcut buttons. I've looked around for a while on the device and I cant seem to figure out in which folder to put the shortcut, or how to get my above mentioned scenario to work. It seems that if I move the programs to the SD card they don't show up, when I try to assign them to a specific button. Can anyone offer any help on this? Thanks in advance.

try a third party application like pocket mechanic, will do it automatically.. Or install directly to card

Yeah with an installer it works fine, when I save it to the sd card, but I'm having problems with programs that use cab files, even if I store the cab file on the sd card, it unpacks itself into the RAM on the device and I couldn't figure out how to get those files to be recognized by the shortcut buttons if I moved it to the sd card..they follow the scenario that I mentioned above..thanks I was figuring on trying to find a 3rd party app to help me out maybe one beside pocket mechanic..

Google cab install v1.04, freeware that aids cab installation to different directories on the PPC.

Edit: Cab Install v1.04

Hey, thanks for the cab program link seems like a pretty cool little program. I found out there isnt a specific folder for my situation, once I moved a program to the sd card I just had to recreate the shortcut in the windows/start menu/programs folder, it uses the same folder for the application buttons as for opening up an application in the programs.

Once I moved the old programs in the programs folder to the sd card I wasn't sure where to put the shortcut link so that I could open them up with the application buttons, and if they were moved to the sd card there was no way to assign the program to a button bc it wasn't anywhere on the device, when all I had to do was rewrite the shortcut length in the windows/start menu/programs folder.

It was a dumb problem but now I went from 26 megs to 42 give or take definately worth the headache imo. Thanks again.
