How to turn your Windows Phone 7 device into a USB drive

Entering week 2 of Windows Telephone 7 and we're moving correct along with those hacks and tweaks. Outset was USB tethering (here & here), now we accept USB drive back up via MobilTechWorld, something we thought wasn't supported. Well, information technology'south not. Officially.

The good news is that this is an easy hack to do. The bad news is it's computer specific, meaning you can't simply employ your WP7 device as a universal USB drive on any computer, just the one that you modify and sync with. Merely hey, it'due south a start.

The play tricks is quite piece of cake and will take y'all less than 5 minutes to do, so it's well worth it, even if just to endeavour.

The first thing to do is edit your PC'south registry. Feels good, right? Like the old Windows Mobile days.

  1. Open the registry editor on your PC by typing regedit in your First card
  2. get to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB; search for ZuneDriver

Now you lot volition modify three entries (note, if you take multiple WP7 phones, you lot have to do it for each i)

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

No restart is necessary. Only plug your phone in and you should see the phone show up in Explorer. Shut downward the Zune desktop app in order to modify the files. Every bit you lot can encounter, you lot at present take admission to music, images and videos, allowing you to copy/paste. You can put whatsoever file you lot want in there, but of course, yous can't access them on the device (due east.one thousand. Office docs). Overall, a nice lilliputian trick.
