Excuse me for posting a new topic, but I need help and have only access to WAP on my holidays, hehe. My problem is that I recently noticed that the Extras, Tools and SIM "directories" are completly empty! I have used Fexplorer in order to locate them to see if they are empty, but I cant find them... I cant even find a directory I made myself! Where are they stored, and how can those directories be empty while the phone still is working OK? I have a Nokia 3650, 2.50. I recently installed Agile Messenger, but that should not cause such a thing I think, hehe. Thanks in advance!

Do you perhaps mean folders in your GUI? If so they are not directories but just that folders for managing your progs. You can delete them all if you want and put all icons in the main screen. Nothing to do with the file system. If you want they are like shortcuts in Windows, sort of.....

Haha! Now this is almost funny! Thanks to you Kirill I came to think of checking further down below my usual icons in the main screen of the GUI, and found the "missing" icons, hehe! Somehow they have moved out from their original folders to the main screen... BTW, I thought that in the "computer world", folders and directories were the same, hehe?

Well folders and dirs can be the same thing but they can be different. It's a confusing topic that allows M$ to charge money for tests to make sure people know the difference. 😃
