File Explorer

I have Dell Axim5 using PPC2002. I have 2 software programs downloaded from Skyscape.com. They are medical reference books. They are on a storage card. I also have another Skyscape program downloaded on to Pda storage. In their instructions for uninstalling these programs they tell me to:
On your device go to file explorer
Change flolder from "my documents to My device"
tap on storage card.
My problem is when I attempt to change from My Documents to My Device, I get the following message:
"Unable to connect with current settings. To Change your
connection settings, tap settings.
How do I get "My Device" to come up so that I can uninstall these programs? I also am having trouble once I uninstall a program removing the icon from the "Program" screen on my Axim.
I am running ActiveSync 3.71, XP Home Edition.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to solve my problem? I am not real computer savy and would appreciate a step by step guide to fixing this problem. Thanks for the assistance.

it sounds like you're trying to 'open' the location when in fact you need to browse to it. at the top left of the axim's file explorer window will be a control (though it just looks like text and an icon) displaying the current folder and allowing you to browse to other folders when you tap on it.

once you've got browsing with file explorer down, browse to \My Device\Windows\Start Menu\Programs you should be able to find the offending icons there.
