Eight Great Ways to Get the Most from Your Zune > Hacking Your Zune
Just because Microsoft doesn't want you to have direct access to the files on your Zune doesn't mean that you shouldn't have direct access to files on your Zune. There are a lot of things you can do with your Zune that sort of bend the Microsoft rules. For example, you might want to mount your Zune as a hard drive. Or copy files onto or off of it without syncing. And so forth. In this section, you'll discover how to hack your Zune to go"behind the scenes" of your player and do more with it than Microsoft ever intended.
Warning
These hacks involve advanced Windows skills. For example, you will need to modify your registry. If this sort of thing goes beyond your comfort zone, stop now. No one will judge. You'll still be able to enjoy your Zune. And your computer may be safer.
