How do I sync a folder from my desktop to my axim automatically?

Currently I drag and drop it from my desktop to my CF card. I was poking around Active Sync options and couldn't find a folder sync (only a single file sync).

Also, I see my "Favorite" folder in the Active Sync, but I'm not sure how I can add a number of links to it at once. Can I sync up my bookmarks from IE6 (desktop) with my PDA? (I use firefox as my browser, but I'd like to have my IE6 browser hold all of my PDA links, so I can easily add new links to that, and then sync up with my PDA)

So how do I do it?

In ActiveSync, go to Tools - Options and make sure Files is checked. When you sync, a folder will be created on your deskop and anything you have in My Documents in main memory will be transferred over.

To transfer sync different locations, use MobiSync.

To add favourites, go to your IE Favorites folder on your desktop. Look for the folder called Mobile Favorites. Everytime you sync, these favorites get transferred to your Axim provided you have the Favorites option checked in Options.

In ActiveSync Options make sure that Files is check to sync. Look in My Documents folder on your PC and you will find a folder named Pocket_PC My Documents. Files put there will get sync to the PPC. The files will be located on your PPC in My Device\My Documents. Oops... I was too slow again. Gigi leave me some!

Thanks!

I saw the folder in my MyDocuments. I was hoping to change the directory, but I can live with it if need be.

Try using Mobsync (see above for link).

It is $10 (after 30 day trial). Though I appreciate the programmer's effort to write the app, I don't think it is worth $10 for me in my case.

Try multisync then:

btw...I found my Mobile Favorites Folder (and made a shortcut ot my desktop for future use). Now I can actually save all of the great links people are providing in my "Favorite Links " thread. :)
