I did not and could not use the same name - it told me the name was already in use.

That's unsettling. My experience was that my last hard reset was on a Casio E125 that had CE 3.11 on it, and it let me rename the PPC the same and then sync up, which is how I wiped out the entries on the desktop. I haven't hard reset my Ax. It must be that they've put something in the registry now to track name changes or detect hard resets. If it first
forced you to use a different name because it knew you had done a hard reset and THEN wiped everything out that is just plain Ugly with a Capital U! On initial sync it didn't do that, it forced the PC stuff on the Ax, without giving us a choice there, either. After a hard reset it should have done the same thing. I know there are serial number and unique identifiers hard coded into the machine, but if you hard reset and then sync the logic should be to put everything back on the Ax, or as you said, at least ask what to do, for crying out loud! What are they thinking in Redmond? (Or

I know we often mix up Axim and M$, I do that myself. It's just that so many people want to complain about hardware when the real culprit is the lousy M$ software that I wanted to point that out. It's a pet peeve. My apology for venting it.
