Maybe you have heard about this little trick many times, but here it is again. This will enable you to use your Zune as a portable drive, actually it just shows your Zune in the Windows Explorer window and enables dragging and dropping and stuff, anyway here it is.
In this tweak you will need to use regedit, before you do this, be sure to know what you are doing
- Make sure your Zune is not plugged in and your the software isn’t running.
- Open regedit, to do this, click start -> run, then type regedit and press enter.
- Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Enum\USB\
- Search for “PortableDeviceNameSpace“. This should be contained under the Vid_####&Pid_####\########_-_########_-_########_-_########\Device Parameters within the above …\USB\ The ##’s listed here will be numbers and letters specific to your Zune.
- Change the following values: * EnableLegacySupport to 1 * PortableDeviceNameSpaceExcludeFromShell to 0 * ShowInShell to 1
- Hopefully at this point you can open up “My Computer” and browse your device, though it does NOT show up as a drive letter.You may need to restart your computer.
Now you can access it as a hard-drive and sync it with the software.
