10.3 Copying and Managing Files

You can copy files between your device and your PC using Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync, or copy
files to a storage card that is inserted in your device. You can also efficiently manage your files and folders using File
Explorer.

Copying Files Using Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync

Using Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync, you can copy files from your PC to your device and vice
versa.

To copy a file between your device and the PC:

1. Connect your device to the PC.
2. Click File Management > Browse the contents of your device in Windows Mobile Device Center or click

Explore in ActiveSync on your PC. This opens the Mobile Device folder for your device.

3. To copy a file from your device to your PC:

a. In Windows Explorer on your PC, browse your device and navigate to the file that you want to

copy.

b. Right-click the file, and then click Copy.

c. Locate the destination folder on your PC. Right-click the folder, and then click Paste.

4. To copy a file from your PC to your device:

a. On your PC, navigate to the folder that contains the file you want to copy.

b. Right-click the file, and then click Copy.

c. Right-click the destination folder on your device, and then click Paste.

Copying a file results in separate versions of a file on your device and PC. Because the files are not
synchronized, changes made to one file will not affect the other. If you want file changes to be automatically
updated on your device and PC, you can synchronize files between your device and PC. For more information
about synchronizing with a computer, see Section 5.

Using File Explorer

File Explorer lets you browse the contents of folders on your device. The root folder on the device is named My
Device. My Device is similar to My Computer on the PC and contains the My Documents, Program Files, Temp,
Storage Card, and Windows folders, among others.

To use File Explorer:

1. Tap Start > Programs > File Explorer.
2. Tap a folder or file to open it.

3. To return to an upper level folder, tap the Down arrow ( ) and select the folder.

4. To delete, rename, or copy a file quickly, tap and hold the file and then choose the desired operation

from the shortcut menu. To select multiple files, tap and drag over the desired files.
