Move Internet Explorer Cache to Storage Card

To free up a bunch of memory on your phone perform the following to move the Cache, Cookies, and History to your storage card. After doing so, you must use that storage card when using Pocket Inernet Explorer. You can however create the same folders on each memory card that you use.

Tested and works on Windows Mobile 6!

Step 1.
Using File Explorer in ActiveSync or the File Manager on your smartphone, create the following folders on the root of your Storage Card.

\ietemp\cache \ietemp\cookies
\ietemp\history

Step 2.
Fire up the registry editor on your phone and navigate to the following key.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
You will need to edit the following values.
Cache Change Value Data to \Storage Card\ietemp\cache
Cookies Change Value Data to \Storage Card\ietemp\cookies
