File and Application Management on Storage Cards

Many Windows Mobile-based devices include one or more storage card slots that you can use for removable memory cards of various types. These cards are commonly used for media (such as music or pictures), applications, or data storage.

Some devices also have a section of internal persistent memory that behaves like a storage card, although it is not removable. For example, Windows Mobile-based Smartphones use flash memory to store program data. The data persists after the phone is turned off. It is recommended that applications store data in a subdirectory of the directory returned by the Windows SHGetFolderPath function, by specifying the CSIDL_APPDATA value for the nFolder parameter.
