N97 ringtones - where are they stored??

Have you tried adding them as if they were a song through Nokia Music for example?



In what format are the files by the way?



Hope this helped!

Save your choicest ringtone to phone memory or memory card's Sound -> Digital sounds folder. Now go to music and refresh your music library. When library refreshed and your choicest ringtone shows in your music library then it will show in profile's ringtone
menu too.

 

Click settings and the update and security tab , click recovery and that will take you to system restore and other options.

Oh , you want to know where they are stored , dang it man , that i couldn't tell you , sorry my friend.

I know very little

 

System Restore files are stored in the "System Volume Information" folder of each drive. By default this folder is hidden, and for good reason. By default the contents are not viewable by even an elevated admin account and as a result Windows Explorer will show zero as the size. Do not attempt to modify the contents in any way or system restore may be come corrupt and unusable. This is for experts who really understand what they are doing. The same applies to the Windows folder and all of it's sub folders.

 

Thanks for your answer and from 'fredc' - I was just wondering where but because I have already done several updates of the system-restore, and also have deleted all of them once, then started again. I am a firm believer in leaving as-is much of the stuff and files that we do not need to access. I am reading a lot of info and many of the tutorial files for background info on Windows 10. Thanks so much. Cliff M.

 

If you are curious you can see them with TreeSize Free or a similar application. If you want to reduce the amount of space they are using you can remove old ones but only by adjusting the assigned space under System Properties - don't just delete them manually.

Well, thanks so much for all the info you have sent to me. I like it, and have already downloaded from JAM their TreeSizeFree program, and have it functional on my win 10 system here. I really like the way that JAM Software (in Germany) has presented the data.

Yesterday I used the software program Macrium to CLONE my win10 on Drive C: here to another HHD that I have. That CLONED drive was found as Drive H: -- so below is what TreeSizeFree found on each of them a few minutes ago.

I am really excited about using and learning about the new Windows 10 and some of the things it does.

I hope all this makes sense to you, as I did appreciate your reply and info to me.

Below are the drives info I have mentioned.

I hope this email reply, and size of data sent is OK with Ten Forums as I have not seen any size restrictions yet for users email data. Please send me a note anytime. Maybe someone else will like the programTreeSizeFree program also... Any comments from user or readers are appreciated.
We are all working and learning to have our personal computers show us good data.
All be safe.. best to all.. Cliff M.
