USB Mass Storage Mode For Windows Phone 7

It’s standard for mobile phones to sync and connect with your computer with limited or no access to the memory for storage.  As with our Zune hack for making a Mass Storage Device, here is a tip for the Windows Phone 7 as well…

The caviet to this tutorial, is that you can only perform the tweak to your computer which you sync the Windows Phone 7 device with.

To get started, do the follwoing:

• Open the registry editor on your PC by typing regedit in your Start menu
• Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB; search for ZuneDriver

Now you will modify three entries (note, if you have multiple WP7 phones, you have to do it for each one)

• Change ShowInShell from 0 to 1
• Change PortableDeviceNameSpaceExcludeFromShell from 1 to 0
• Change EnableLegacySupport from 0 to 1

Note:  Perform registry entries at your own risk.  It’s best if you back up the Reg before starting.
