Synchronizing from the Mobile Device

first synchronization process before you initiate synchronization from your device.
To initiate synchronization from your device, tap Start | Programs | Communication | ActiveSync to begin the process.
Tap Sync to connect and synchronize. View synchronization status.
Tap Tools to synchronize or change synchronization settings. View connection status.
Tap Stop to stop synchronization.
Tap Start | Help for context-sensitive help.
Explore
From the ActiveSync Dialog on the Desktop PC, tap the Explore button, which allows you to explore the mobile device from
the PC side, with some limitations. You can copy files to or from the mobile device by drag-and-drop. You will not be allowed to
delete files or copy files out of the \Windows folder on the mobile device. (Technically, the only files you cannot delete or copy
are ones marked as system files in the original build of the Windows image. This, however, includes most of the files in the
\Windows folder).
