I have WinXP and Activesync 3.8 to my X50v running ROM A03. Most of the time, to move files from computer to PPC, I have to copy/paste in Windows Explorer. On a few occasions and for some unknown reasons, I was able to simply drag/drop. How can I drag/drop files all the time? Thx.

What I do is just go to my computer then mobile device then into the file I want to drag the files to and then drag them there from my PC.

Thx jadams951. You got me thinking. Anyway, after some tinkering, I finally found a sure way to drag/drop files to Axim

With the Axim in sync with PC, open Windows Explorer (hitting "My Computer" will do too). At this point, you can browse your Mobile Device in Win Explorer, but you can not drag/drop files from PC to Axim. Not yet anyway.

Next, click the "Explore" button in ActiveSync. This will open up another WinExplorer window. You can just minimize this one, and ignore it.

Go back to your original WinExplorer window, you will now be able to drag/drop files.

I hope this tip will help some newbies out there like myself.

when you open the win explorer then open the activsync explore you can drag and drop between those two windows. works for both directions.

Resco File Explorer also installs a "Send to" option on the PC.
Right-click any file on the PC and then you can send it to any folder on your PPC.

I havea copying issue with AS too, it worked fine , and for a couple of days i can't understand why i can't drag and drop or even copy-paste files to the axim through AS (explore in AS or even from my device shortcut in "my computer") .
If anyone has a solution it is most welcomed because copying stuff to the SD from the card reader then pasting to the folder i want in bis or ram is a pain :(

*Edit* rebooted my computer , and it works ... not rebooting for 3 weeks isn't that good .... when something is messed up you can't remember what the heck you did during the 3 weeks that could have messed this up..
