Speed Up Your Windows Mobile Pocket PC.

WOW my Pocket PC is fast! I just bumped into an old registry tweak that I have yet to use o_n Windows Mobile 2003. A foreign site todopocketpc had mentioned this and I was surprised I had not used it o_n my new install. o_nce I applied this reg tweak I immediately saw a difference in how fast my Windows Mobile Pocket PC responded. Today plugins load faster my Games folder loads faster. Its just an overall better experience. I would highly suggest backing up your Pocket PC before you try this as playing with your registry can cause problems if you do not know what you are doing. Protect your Pocket PC BACKUP!


1. Open your registry editor o_n your Pocket PC
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\
3. Change the value of 'limit' from 8192 to 32768
4. Close registry editor and soft reset.


Registry tweak to store the Pocket Internet Explorer data on your Mini-SD

EDIT: The following post is a registry tweak to store the Pocket Internet Explorer data on your Mini-SD card instead of the internal storage. It currently results in a PocketIE error where it crashes and closes immediately after loading a page. Clearing the data using the options in PocketIE solves the problem temporarily.

ok here's what i've figured out...
(i suggest backing up your registry before changing anything, as always)

find this key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\Shell Folders\

AFAIK, this tweak is to increase GUI cache.. this may impact to available memory...

Correct sir. This tweak does increase the GUI cache speeding up screen-drawing, but does so at the expense of internal memory. For regular everyday use it may not be a big deal but cats might likely start to notice performance hits when they try to run memory intensive apps (probably not full-screen games cuz they don't make use of system GDI function calls).

Will this increase the speed of switching screen orientation? since it speeds up screen drawing.

Nice and good solution..... it's increase performance of my PDA..

You also can do this tweak safer using SKTools..

Very nice proposition ! Thanks for your good work !

Thanks alot! it works ok
