Played a little with the registry today, and came across something.
Why isn´t there a SYSTEM.INI or WIN.INI?
What if I created one - would it have any effect, or don´t do anything at all?

CE explorer creates .ini files sometimes. It might do something. Check MSDN for the info.

Hmm...cant seems to find anything really related to the user.

Is there a chance to get the file sort order in Explorer permanent by "type"?

Most likely not. Use Total Commander 2.52 or 2.51 instead.

System.ini and win.ini were used by Windows for config and initial status settings under Windows 3 and lower. Under 9x and NT they are for legacy use only. They were used before Microsoft came up with the hive based registry concept that we have today.

Okay, thanks for the info. Didn´t know that.

Is there a way that I can force the system to automatically put all temporary/garbage/.unload data in a folder on my storage card? Like the old "set temp=" command did in the autoexec.bat file? A special registry key perhaps?

Can I arrange the system to make a file cache for faster access of the storage card?

Registry: HKLM/System/FileSystem/TempPath

Yes, you can. The is a set of settings in HKLM/System/StorageManager which allow setting different cache settings for different storages.

Is that correct?

"HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/FatFS
Flags=Reg_Dword 0x000024"

"HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Filesystem"

"HKLM/System/System/StorageManager/FatFS
Buffersize=Reg_Dword 0x000080
Cachsize=Reg_Dword 0x0003e8
DataCacheSize=Reg_Dword 0x0003e8
Dll=Reg_sz Fatfs.dll
EnableCache=Reg_Dword 0x000001
Flags=Reg_Dword 0x000024
Paging=Reg_Dword 0x000001"

Yes, it is. It sets 1000KB cache and 128KB buffer for every FAT file system. You can also set the cache for FAT table (FatCacheSize) to improve reading of huge directories (I had fair problems with 3000 files in single directory on my Sigmarion III).
