Happy to help :) at least partially. I did a search and found this on Brighthand, see if it applies to your situation:
"I think that what causes this is modifying BOTH the desktop and the PPC files without synching. I sometimes have this problem after a hard reset-and-restore round since I sync with two seperate computers.
To stop the cycle, the affected files in the synched folders should be deleted. Of course, as far as the PPC is concerned, simply moving the file out of the "PPC My Documents" folder on the desktop is as good as deleting it.
After you go through the trouble of merging all of your data, make a new folder on your desktop and copy all of your fixed, good files in there. Make sure that EVERYTHING that you need is in that new folder.
After you make sure that you have a copy of all the important stuff, delete all the files and folders in the "PPC My Documents" folder on your desktop. When it is empty and your PPC syncs your desktop, it should empty itself out, too; if there are things left over, delete them manually from the PPC. I <think> that the Templates folder is in ROM, so you can't get rid of it.
After your "My Documents" folder is empty in both the Desktop and the PPC, copy all the files and folders that you saved in the new folder back into the "PPC My Documents" folder. When those files sync back into the PPC, they won't have any flags that will make them do the "Changed copy of ..." thing.
After the files are all fixed you should make sure that you don't make changes on both the PPC and Desktop files between syncs. Since Activesync doesn't know which one is the "real" one you want, it will do the only safe thing it can do and make a copy."

However, the files doubled and I had a duplicate list of files on my Axim named "Changed Copy..<filename>". Is there a way to avoid this.
Thanks again!
