Matt LeBoff November 19, 2010 Tutorials & How-To Guides

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

Windows Phon 7 USB hack

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