There is a way to map a directory on a Pocket Pc from a desktop PC (or map a directory of the Desktop PC for use it from the Pocket) to transfer data without use Copy & Paste with ActiveSync ?
Thanks.
Franz

When you install ActiveSync on the desktop computer, it creates a folder in your My Documents folder called "Pocket_PC My Documents". This folder automatically synchs with the My Documents folder on the Pocket PC. So, if you create a sub-folder for your app in one of these folders (either on the Pocket PC or desktop) the contents will be automatically synched when docked.

There are two modes with ActiveSync, standar and guest. I always use guestand mode because standar mode is only for 2 pdas (I think?)

I agree with Bill, i thing is the easy way, and is authomatic. About standard mode is only for 2 pdas, this is not true. I have more than 5 pdas. If I'm not wrong I belive one PDA can only have 2 desktop computers to sincronize, but no limitation on the other way.

Hello,
I use a small program called "Card Export".
It resides on the pocket PC, nothing on the desktop.
When installed, it gives you the choice between Card Export or Active Synch.
If you choose Card Export, it will emulate a USB drive.
The limitation is that you can access only the SD Card or the Pocket PC file store directory.
This is not a problem to me as I put everything on the SD Card. It is much bigger and secure then the Pocket PC RAM.
The advantage is the speed ... far much faster then Active Synch and the simplicity to use it ... from your desktop, a simple copy will work.
