Access Private & System folder on your MMC without PC

1. Via card reader or data transfer remove Read only and Hidden attributes from sys and private folders of MMC.
However the SYS folder will still be read-only

2. Press menu key, find "File Mgr." (the default file manager) and open it

3. Press Options / Find

4. You will be prompted to choose between phone memory and memory card. Press down to select memory card

5. Type the name of that protected folder you want to browse through: either Sys or Private

6. Press Find and wait

7. The folder will appear in search results. It should appear as the first result if you type its whole name

What will you be able to do?
* Browse through folders, subfolders and files inside sys folder
* Copy files/folders from sys to another normal folder
* Browse through folders, subfolders and files inside private folder
* Move and copy files/folders from private folder to another normal folder
* Rename and delete files/folders inside private folder

Some folders
10207114 - Themes
102033E6 - Java Applications
1000484b - Mail folder
10202dce - Installed sis file

Backing up & restoring Messages into your cell phone

In a Symbian platform or in a s60 series phone when we store messages on memory card, it will be automatically stored in system/mail folder.
It also occurs with higher series also, but only difference is that the mail folder is buried deep inside the private folder..

Now you are thinking that what we have to do to access this folder?
Than you just have to follow the given steps as under!

-> Connect your handset to pc in the "Data transfer" (Mass storage) mode
-> Go to the Private folder on your memory card
-> Open the folders in sequential manner
-> Look for 1000484b (PARENT) folder or like that under which you will find Mail (Child) or mail2 folder, you are looking for.
-> Copy that (PARENT) folder to your PC
-> After you format you memory card using handset, copy back the same folder PARENT from pc again under Private folder on memory card using mass storage mode.
-> Now You have got all your messages as it is.

Or you can also do this,

Follow 1st step as it is, then go to search option on your pc, include system, hidden files and folders in search options and search for "mail" folder.. and follow last two steps as it is.

Note: Message cant be transferred to phone memory...
The system files of phone memory cant be accessed due to new security levels in the 3rd edition phones...

Also when you try to connect your phone in Mass Storage mode make sure that the message memory is set to Phone Memory, else you would get the error
"Unable to activate mass storage mode. Memory card is in use by Messaging application. Change the selected memory in Messaging settings first"
I hope this will be very helpful to you!

Caps Lock Trick

Don't you hate it when you accidentally hit the Caps Lock key? Sometimes I have a whole sentence typed in before I realize my mistake! 

What if you could set your computer up so it alerts you when your pinky finger wanders off and taps the Caps Lock key? With this tip, I'll show you how to make your computer beep & flash the next time it happens.

The first thing you'll need to do is get the computer to beep when you hit the Caps Lock key. Here's how:

1. Click the Start button, Settings, Control Panel (XP Users, hit the Start button, Control Panel). Open the Accessibility Options Icon.

2. On the Keyboard tab, click the "Use Toggle Keys" checkbox.

That's it for the beeping part. 

Next, we need to get your screen to flash you, err, flash at you. Here's how:

1. From the Accessibility Options screen, click the Sound tab and check the "Use SoundSentry" checkbox

2. Next click the Settings button and select "Flash active window" from the "Warning for windowed programs" drop down box.

That's it. Hit OK until you're clear of property and settings screens. Open your favorite word processor and hit your Caps Lock key. 

Cool huh?

P.S. If you don't have an Accessibility Options icon in your Control Panel, you may not have it installed.

To install, hit your Start button, Settings, Control Panel. Open the Add / Remove programs icon and click the Windows Setup tab. You'll be able to add components from there. Keep in mind you'll need your Windows CD!
