ignore my docs is generated when there is no "My Documents" folder on a
memory card.

To address this, create a root directory on the card named "My
Documents" (spelling is critical) and then delete the "ignore my docs"
file... you may have to use Resco or the pc's file explorer while
connected since the file may be protected... soft reset when done and
confirm it's gone.

Once the "My Documents" folder is in place, the problem should disappear.

    ... The biggest problem with this snafu is visited on those of us who migrated from earlier os' and transferred our cards from 200x devices to wm5 devices, then tried to find files from within "compliant" applications such as pword, pexcel and pstreets. ... We immediately couldn't find anything in the card's "My Documents" subfolders and, in my case, the folder and file selection was jammed by the many root folders I had evolved over the years. ... By removing the "My Documents" folder, the older os's responded with the "ignore_my_docs" flag file, so, rather than trying to get wm5 to operate like other ppc os's with respect to the memory card, the only workable solution I have found is to get the older devices to act like wm5 by rearranging memory card files as above. ...
