Is there a way to change the default notes location? The context being that when I use XTND to sync up notes, it syncs up with My Documents on device. When I see the mapping, it maps to the default WM notes location.
What happens is that it clutters the my documents with .pwi files where as I would prefer it to go in a subfolder notes inside My documents on storage card
thanks!

How can you view notes from desktop pc when universal is connected through sync. and how can I make new notes to default saved in a specific folder in the SD Card.
Thanks
if you want your notes to sync, you cant put them on the SD card, mutually exclusive. so far as I know, nothing on the sd card will sync to pc, only by direct manual copy.
i dont know of a way to have notes go to a specific folder.
thanks,
I need to view the notes directly so when I am organising them I dont have to open them on my XDA and move with the pc.
you can see and make new ones in Outlook
just make sure you choose notes to sync with activesync
Notes Sync from your devices My Documents folder, and all sub folders within, having them syncing in outlook makes them appear like :
business\note about notes
but on the phone you just have to goto the business folder within my documents,
outlook even opens the hand written ones fine aswell
thanks
If I go on Windows Live Messenger, the user display pictures of people that are online are automatically cached as part of the entire WinMo/XPERIA contacts. When I add the contact to TouchFLO I can't find the secret/hidden folder where Messenger caches these display pics so that I can set them as the photo for the TouchFLO contact. Or.... is there any way to automatically import/integrate the WinMo contacts with TouchFLO?
Okay so I found them cached at \Application Data\Windows Live\Tiles
They are simply JPEG's with base64-encoded file names that have no extensions.... how annyoing.......
soooooo???
Hi all,
I've tried a search for a solution, but couldn't find it immediately:
I've a lot of contacts divided over subfolders in my Outlook. Apparently activesync does not work with subfolders: huh!?
Is there a new version I can download?
I really need the different maps, I can't work with categories
Regards
Koen
I don't think this is possible. I had the same problem as you.
What I did is to organize my contacts "by category" so instead of using sub folders assigning each contact to a specific category in Outlook. You can then view them in Outlook "by category" and filter in Windows Mobile by category.
I agree that this is a serious problem. With some of my contacts I've gone into Outlook (that I sync with) and placed a zz_ at the front of the "File As:" entry.
Then at least all of these contacts will be at the bottom of my list.
The other thing I've done is created an excel spread sheet (or even an html file) with a list of contacts that I don't want on my main list and copied that file to my phone. Sometimes I open that to find names and then copy and paste it into my phonebook.
Welcome to Activesync! This goes right back to the first Pocket PCs, Microsoft have shown no iterest in adding this functionality.
The only way you can do this is by using different sync software, which maps folders in outlook to categories on your phone. Works well for me.

Hi All
Yes I know this answer is a little late... But it might help others
If you want to Sync MS Outlook's Contact Sub Folders you need - Chapura PocketMirror Professional
I've used it for many years and excellent bit of kit (only used with office 2003)
Just checked online and they have gone 'bust' but I still have the software & in daily use - PM me if req'd
I have a lot of favorites in Firefox which I was trying to transfer to htc hd2, so far no luck.
First I export favorites to html, then import html to Internet explorer, move all favorites inside the "Favorite" folder which is the one that phone uses. After I sync the phone with pc I do get some favorites, but many that have been inside folders are dissapearing. After more syns, even more favorites are dissapearing.
Does anyone know a reliable way to transfer favorites to phone?
So far I got two ideas, either add all favorites manually one by one and disable syncing or simply copy the bookmarks.html file over to phone and then use favorites through it.
Maybe someone figured out how to sync properly, though?
Your favourites need to be in the Mobile Favourites folder in IE.
I have the same problem with Mobile Favorites, sometimes they are deleted on the device after sync.

Yes I do know that.
The problem is if you place favorites in mobile favorites and you have sub folders in that folder then after you sync only some favorites from sub folders get synced, and with each sync more and more are getting deleted.
Example
Mobile favorites
link1
link2
link3
link4
link5
folder1
link6
link7
folder2
link8
folder3
link9
After syncing links 1-5 are synced normally, folders are synced as well, but links that are in folders 1,2 and 3 are not synced, or dissapearing after consequent syncs.
I understand your problem now that you've explained it.
On my pc i have set up the main contacts folder and a subfolder which contains all my mobile numbers [all nicely ordered etc!]
Is there anyway I can make the activesynch see this mobiles-sub_folder to sych with rather than just the main "contacts" folder of email addresses?
I tried importing from SIM and the process is screwed up:
What was "John Smith" home number on my SE (backup to SIM)
imports as "forename" - blank
Surname - smith; John/1"
So I don't think I could even use the re-sorting cab file to re-order them first name/Surname and would have to edit >180 contacts unless I can synch with the Outlook Folder.
Help Appreciated!
I didn't even know you could make additional folders in outlook...
You should merge the contacts, as in so that mobile and e-mail address for the same person are in the same contact - as it's meant to be.
If you want to differenciate, use categories.
If you don't want to / can't merge, or they're simply completely different people, I'd assign let's say a "phone" category to all your phone contacts, a "mobile" category to the mobile ones. Then move all the "mobile" ones into the main folder.
You can always filter by category afterwards, both on outlook and on the phone.
Okay thanks
Reading around, I see that ActiveSync can't synch with sub-folder.
It is rather poor that MS software will not do something with MS software than a 3rd party App [that Ericsson provided] will do.
