Make your device work for YOU! Part VI: ActiveSync & MS Voice Commander
Welcome back to Part VI of our 8 week series on various registry tweaks that can be done on your WM5/6 device. This week we will be taking a look modifying ActiveSync and MS Voice Commander behaviors.
Just remember, you will need a registry editor like Total Commander or PHM Registry Editor in order to implement these modifications.
Note: Some users have commented that the exact location of registry keys differ. What is documented here will give you an approximate location of where they should be located, but you may need to explore around to find what needs to be changed.
ActiveSync Tweak
Change Name of Device for ActiveSync
- [HKLM\Ident]
- Change the Value of ‘Name’ (no spaces)
Fast File Transfers and Syncing with AS
- [HKLM\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\RNDIS]
- Create a DWORD value named “MTU” and set its value to “1514″
- [HKLM\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\RNDIS]
- Create a DWORD value named “MaxOutTransfer” and set its value to “1642″
MS Voice Commander
Increase the volume of MS voice command
- [HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\VoiceCommand1]
- Change value of “AttenuationCategory” to 1
- You can also change the value of InitVol to 40
Changing the speed of Microsoft voice command narrator
- [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Speech\Voices]
- Change the value of “DefaultTTSRate”: Increasing the value will increase the speed of the narration, while decreasing the number will slow it.
For the next two weeks of the series, I will be introducing some miscellaneous registry tweaks that I have come across over the years. Make sure to check back for them.

Can you add an explanation of what these changes to the registry do. Like are they assigning RAM to this, thereby taking away RAM from other running applications.
Otherwise, I like this feature.
Thanks.
These registry tweaks should not take anything away from your RAM. You can think of these tweaks as registry tweaks done on PC. There maybe couple of bytes taken away when adding in registry keys or values, but as these are editing registry already in place, they should not effect RAM.
Note: My first post of the series (Performance Tweaks) does eat up about 2~3MB of RAM.
I want to e mail photos on my Dell Axim x51v of at least 4 megabytes but keep getting the message the files are too large. Is there anyway to get around this. I am using Yahoo and juno. Thanks
