Windows Mobile Registry Tweaks-Part 7
Mobile devices which are operated with Windows Mobile operating system also have a registry. We can easily customize and tweak many of the defaults on our devices to suit our needs. The structure of Mobile registry is very similar to the Windows Registry structure, so if you are familiar with it, you will find this just as easy.To perform the registry tweak to configure different settings for notifications in Windows Mobile, run any registry editor on Windows Mobile device.
Increase font cache
To increase the font cache, speeding up font rendering at the cost of a bit of memory in Windows Mobile:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 16384 (DWORD decimal)
To change it back to the default:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 8192 (DWORD decimal)
You can set the value to pretty much anything you like
Enable FileSystem cache
To enable the FileSystem cache, speeding up overall performance at the risk of the cache not being written on a sudden reset:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable again:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note that by default, the cache size is zero, and you will see no effect. See “Increase FileSystem cache” to incease the cache size
Increase FileSystem cache
To increase the file system cache:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 4096 (DWORD decimal)
To return the file system cache to zero:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 0 (DWORD decimal)
You can set the value to pretty much anything you like
Increase FileSystem filter cache
To enable the file system filter cache, speeding up overall performance with file mangement:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\Rep lStoreCacheSize = 4096 (DWORD decimal)

HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\Rep lStoreCacheSize = 0 (DWORD decimal)

For the horizontal (bottom) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cyHScr = 9 (DWORD decimal)

Change the location of ‘Temporary Internet Files’
When browsing the web, pages and images are saved in the ‘Temporary Internet Files’ location. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\Shell Folders\Cache = “\Storage Card\cacheie” (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To return to the original location:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\Shell Folders\Cache = “\Windows\Profiles\guest\Temporary Internet Files” (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Disable 3gp (video) size limit (would like to note if the file size is over 300k most cell phones cant receive the file)
