Of course, I tried it out first as I am usually careful not to mislead people.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, I have to warn you. Do it at your own risk (as it involves tweaking your registry edit). The tweak is actually very simple. I copied from MobileTechWorld.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<blockquote>\n<li>Open Windows Registry Editor by typing regedit in your start menu<\/li>\n<li>Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\<\/li>\n<li>Then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Enum\\USB\u00a0 (and  not the other ControlSet01 or 02 if you have them) and then search for <strong>ZuneDriver<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For me, I went to <strong>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Enum\\USB<\/strong>, press Ctrl F (search) to search for &#8220;Zunedriver&#8221; and tick &#8220;Match Whole String Only&#8221;. You will be able to get it.<\/p>\n<p>After you find the Zunedriver, you will realize that it is under the Device Parameters folder. See the picture to get what I mean.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<blockquote>\n<li>Go to <strong>Device Parameters<\/strong> folder<\/li>\n<li>Change <strong>ShowInShell<\/strong> from 0 to 1 <em>&lt;- this enable Windows Explorer to show the device when pluged in<br \/>\n<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Change <strong>PortableDeviceNameSpaceExcludeFromShell<\/strong> from 1 to 0<\/li>\n<li>Change <strong>EnableLegacySupport<\/strong> from 0 to 1 <em>&lt;- this enables Windows Explorer to detect the device<\/em><\/li>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the instruction, it says that you can also change <strong>EnableDefaultAutoPlaySupport<\/strong> but it didn\u2019t seem to do anything. Do ensure that you close you Zune software to see the content in the phone.<\/p>\n<p>It has a few folders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/wp7_folder.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"15349\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/2010\/11\/19\/edit-windows-registry-to-show-windows-phone-7-as-usb-drive\/wp7_folder\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/wp7_folder.jpg?fit=540%2C460&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"540,460\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"wp7_folder\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/wp7_folder.jpg?fit=300%2C255&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/wp7_folder.jpg?fit=540%2C460&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15349 aligncenter\" title=\"wp7_folder\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/wp7_folder.jpg?resize=540%2C460\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/wp7_folder.jpg?w=540&amp;ssl=1 540w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/wp7_folder.jpg?resize=300%2C255&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The phone content can be seen. I tried to click open a picture file from it but it could not open. Once I copied it outside the folder, it can be opened without error.<\/p>\n<p>The only question I have now is where are those Microsoft Office files saved to. I could not find them. Anyway, I think this is definitely a good hack.<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobiletechworld.com\/2010\/11\/18\/use-your-windows-phone-7-device-as-a-portable-usb-drive\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to Read from MobileTechWorld for more information<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>[ad#boxlist]<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/11\/18\/registry-hack-allows-for-direct-loading-of-media-on-windows-phon\/\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are frustrated that your Windows Phone 7 only allows you to use the Zune software to add or remove files, now this Windows registry hack may be a blessing for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1509,5,6,14],"tags":[3096,3865,3864,1088,2955,3863,1595,1861,1950,1953,1951,1902,671,3866],"class_list":["post-15347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-featured","category-mobile","category-pda","category-techie","tag-drive","tag-driver","tag-folder","tag-hack","tag-media","tag-registry","tag-storage","tag-windows-phone-7","tag-winpho-7","tag-winpho7","tag-wp-7","tag-wp7","tag-zune","tag-zunedriver"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8YKZ-3Zx","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15347","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15347"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15347\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15351,"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15347\/revisions\/15351"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15347"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15347"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
