CHAPTER
If you set up synchronization with desktop
sync software, information in the Favorites
application is synchronized by default as
well.
You can remove applications or add others
to the list of applications that synchronize.
For example, you can change settings to
synchronize Word, Excel, PowerPoint,
OneNote, and PDF files, as well as
pictures, music, videos, and other types of
files (see Changing which applications
sync). If you want to synchronize music or
other files that appear in the Windows
Media Player Mobile library on your
smartphone (see Win
dows Media Player
Mobile), you need Windows Media Player
10 or later on your computer.
If you want to synchronize with a personal
information manager (PIM) other than
Microsoft Office Outlook, you must install a
third-party solution. Contact the PIM’s
vendor to learn if software is available for
your smartphone.
TIP If you don’t have Outlook installed on your
computer, you can download a trial version of
Outlook 2007. On your smartphone, press
Start and select Settings. Select the System
tab, select PC Setup, and then select Set up
my PC. Connect your smartphone to your
computer using the USB cable. On the screen
that appears on your computer, select the link
to download a trial version of Outlook 2007.
DID YOU KNOW ? Synchronizing Favorites gives
you an easy way to get favorites from the web
browser on your computer into the web
browser on your smartphone. Just add them
to the folder called Mobile Favorites, which
shows up in your computer's browser. When
you sync, they become available on your
smartphone as well. Backup copies of any
favorites that you add on the smartphone
browser are also stored in the Mobile
Favorites folder.
TIP If you don’t have Windows Media Player
installed on your computer, you can download
it for free from microsoft.com
