System Tools or Repair Change the bluetooth browse root

By default the Widcomm BT stack puts you in \My Documents if you try and browse your device from your Mac. I found a way to change this to use \ or the root directory, allowing you to browse the entire contents of your Q.
Please note that this was only tested on the Sprint Q. Your mileage may vary with the VZW Q.

Please note that I take no responsibility if you mess up your device's registry. Registry editing is for the advanced users. Now that this is out of the way, here is what you do.

1) get a smartphone registry editor. I am using PHM which can be downloaded at http://www.phm.lu/Products/smartphone/RegEdit/

2) use the editor to navigate to /HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Widcomm/BtConfig/Services/003

3) You wont see anything. You want to click the Values smartkey and navigate down to Root and click on it.

4) Change the Value Data in root from \My Documents to \

5) Close program and restart the Q

* Next step assumes you have previously paired the Q with your mac, but this will work with a PC as well. Basically use the browse device function of the bluetooth pc software you have.

On the Mac
6) Click on the bluetooth icon on the top bar and select "Browse Device"

7) Select your device from the list and you will be shown a file browser in which you will be dropped into root on the Q.
