How to write to CF card on cradle

Simple methodology and a quirk in CE operating systems as implemented on the Pocket PC and Pocket PC 2002 platforms:

1. Use Active Sync.

2. AFTER you have snyced... open EXPLORER on the Active sync window, ALSO open explorer on your connected computer.

3. If you don't have it already, ON THE CF CARD create a directory entitled : MY DOCUMENTS [note - the PATH to the CF card will be a sub-directory off of the heading "MY Pocket PC"]

4. The quirk is that in order for your device to "recognize" anything you copy over to the CF or SD cards OPr the device for that matter - it must be located within a folder called "My Documents"

5. DRAG the desired addition to your device FROM the connected computer TO the MY DOCUMENTS folder of he appropriate section of your Axim. If any conversion of the file type is nbeeded (as in converting a Word documnent to Pocket Word, etc.) it will occur automatically.

6. After hge process compete - you should be able to "find" the cpied media file on your pocket pc through the desired device (e.g. Pocket Reader, MP3 player, Pocket Word, etc.)

Hope this helps!
