How to change Sync Folder at Desktop? RalfK 08-25-2006

Hi!

I'm using ActiveSync 3.8 and try to change the location where the synced
PPC files will be placed at the desktop.

I found the MS article 291723 and a couple of additional source
describing to change
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE
Services\Partners\X\Services\Synchronization\Briefcase Path"
to the needed path.

But, as usual, this doesn't work at my side ... :-/

If I change the value from
\PPCname MyDocuments\
to
d:\Eigene Dateien\PPCname MyDocuments\

the value will be overwritten by the next file synchronisation or by the
next checking of "file -> Settings" under Options.

The path is relative to %home% and I don't want to place it there!

Any idea how to change the sync path permanently?

Thanks and Gruss

Ralf
