Pulled this off a website.

What is the "ignore_my_docs" file?

This is a zero byte file on their storage card or or ROM file store was created to help people who had trouble finding data on their storage card unless they had specifically created a \My Documents\ folder. So, the Pocket PC 2002 now looks at the storage card when you insert it. If \My Documents\ doesn't exist, it puts a hidden file called "ignore_my_docs" on the card. It also has done this to the HP Safe Store or iPAQ File Store. So, what does it do? Well, Pocket PC 2002 apps see this hidden file and look at the root of the storage card for everything. The file itself does not change in the process of acquisition.
