WIMR?

WIMR? is a very simple program, so I don't think it needs a lot of explanation. Just to give you an idea about it, here is a short description:

Basically I needed a good overview of which documents and programs were taking up the space on my Pocket PC. I could of course browse trough all directories on the device using file explorer, but I was lacking a good overview. So since I couldn't find any software out there that could do this, I decided that this could be a great "get to know a little more about Pocket PC programming" task for me.

WIMR? will show you a file explorer like list of all files and directories on your device, sorted by size. WIMR? will start at the root of the device, and you can then tap directories to enter them. Use the "up" icon to go back up a level and the "refresh" icon to recalculate the current location if you change something in another application (e.g. a file explorer or in the "remove programs" control panel applet).

There is a few options in the program: You can choose to show file-sizes in bytes, kilo-bytes, mega-bytes or use the 'auto' setting (files < 1024 bytes shown in bytes, files < 1048576 bytes KB and files > 1048576 in MB).

You can choose to see only files in ROM, RAM or both. This option is to filter out the ROM items which you can't delete anyway (or the other way around: to have a peek at what's in the ROM).

You can also delete single files directly from WIMR?, call the "Remove programs" control panel applet to uninstall complete programs, launch a file directly from WIMR? or view detailed information about a selected file.

To use WIMR? download a version matching the processor in your Pocket PC (if you are in doubt what version you need, it's probably the arm/xscale one):

There is no fancy installation program for WIMR?, just copy the exe file to your device and you should be up and running (It might be wise to create a shortcut for WIMR?, using the "explore" option in Active Sync or some other software).
