Mobile Favorites

If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later on your computer,

you can download mobile favorites to your device. Synchronizing mobile

favorites downloads Web content to your device so that you can view

pages while you are disconnected from your ISP and computer.
Use the Internet Explorer plug-in installed with ActiveSync to create mobile

favorites quickly.

To create a mobile favorite:

1. In Internet Explorer 5 or greater on your PC, browse to the page you

want to view offline.

2. Click Tools and then Create Mobile Favorite.
3. To change the link name, enter a new name in the Name box.
4. In the Update box, select a desired update schedule to keep the page

in the Mobile Favorites folder up to date.

5. To save the link in a subfolder of Mobile Favorites, click Create In and

select the desired subfolder.

6. Click OK. Internet Explorer will download the latest version of the page.
7. To download the pages that are linked to the mobile favorite you just

created, in Internet Explorer on the PC, right-click the mobile favorite

and then click Properties. On the Download tab, specify the number of

links deep you want to download. To conserve device memory, only go

one level deep.

To save device memory

Mobile favorites take up storage memory on your device. To minimize the

amount of memory used:

In the settings for the Favorites information type in ActiveSync options,

turn off pictures and sounds, or stop some mobile favorites from being

downloaded to the device. For more information, see ActiveSync Help.

Limit the number of downloaded linked pages. In Internet Explorer on

the computer, right-click the mobile favorite you want to change and

then Properties. In the Download tab, specify 0 or 1 for the number of

linked pages you want to download.

If you did not specify an update schedule in step 4, you will need to

manually download content to keep the information updated on your

computer and device. Before synchronizing with your device, in Internet

Explorer on your computer, click Tools and then Synchronize. You will

see the last time content was downloaded to the computer, and you can

manually download content if needed.
You can add a button to the Internet Explorer toolbar for creating mobile

favorites. In Internet Explorer on your computer, click View, Toolbars, and

then Customize.
