As all the external tools rely on ActiveSync, they won't really help. You
can, of course, give a try to Total Commander's WinCE FS plug-in to access
the file system of Pocket PC's. See
http://pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=15577 for more info on
installing it.

What I recommend is a separate card reader for your desktop computer if
nothing else helps.
