Mobility Site - View Single Post - Activesync w/BT

I've read (and tried) just about every suggestion in the various threads for syncing with BT. I was able to get it to work at home on with a Microsoft BT adapter - where I set the AS program to the COM port of the serial BT connection (on the PC). As soon as I pointed the AS program to the port (port 15), the BT service on the WM5 X50v changed to Activesync. It worked like a champ.

So, I come to work to do the same thing (using AS 4.5B in both locations, BTW), and I can only get Serial Port as a service for my PC. The PC is a Sony Vaio laptop with a Toshiba BT adapter.

I've read where you should 'rename' the serial port on the PC to 'activesync' - but the Toshiba software is so limited, it will not let me rename anything.

Are there any registry hacks on the PC that I can do that would force the service to be renamed at AS?

I'm stumped.
