Hello again,
I would like to synchronize ALL my internet explorer favorites, between my
Windows Vista PC and My Windows Mobile 6 phone.
To do that, I understood I have to put all my PC's links in the "mobile
favorites" folder.
But if I want to keep all links in their original folder, on the PC, is
there still a way to synchronize them with the mobile device?
Thanks
Gz

Correct.

Not that I'm aware of. However, the Mobile Favorites folder supports
subfolders, so your current favorites hierarchy can be preserved by moving
the whole lot into Mobile Favorites.

Hmm yes but then on the PC all my favorites would be under a subfolder...
not very handy

Please log in for more thread options True. As far as I can recall, you're the only one who's asked for this in
the last year or so, at least. Most people, I think, aren't yet ready to
call their WM device a real substitute for their PC.

Not from lack of trying! At least me, anyway. My goal in using WM-based
devices has ALWAYS been laptop substitution, but the designers seem to try
and foil that plan wherever possible, whether it's a File Explorer that
can't rename extensions, a Media Player than can't edit or create
playlists, lack of USB Mass Storage support, no native printing ability,
the removal of sync-over-WiFi/VPN, or a turn-of-the-century-level IE4-
compliant browser. ;-)
Thankfully, 3rd-party support has allowed WinMo devices to attain a quasi
mini-computer status, despite the OS' agenda to remain a peripheral- a "PC
Companion."
On a recent trip to Mexico, I left the laptop at home, and found my WinMo
phone an acceptable substitute (a usual)- I could use the web (Opera Mini,)
retrieve e-mail and keep up with usenet (Messaging, QMail), play media (WMP
and TCPMP), view and edit office docs (Office Mobile), and remote into my
home PC (I used LogMeIn rather than RDS for simplicity) to fetch any files
I'd forgotten to bring, or access any websites that Opera Mini or IEM
couldn't render. I was even able to use VoIP (WM6's native VoIP client,
Skype, Fring), to get around the ridiculous $1.49/min roaming charges my
cellular carrier charges in Mexico, and printed a few on-line coupons with
my trusty Sipix A6 Infrared printer ($20 at Geeks.com, but only partially
compatible with WM5/6.)
I'm not really picking on MS here- compared to, say, a Blackberry or (even
worse) the iPhone, the _need_ for a tethered PC is certainly minimal, but
in these days of 600MHz CPUs, 128MB of RAM and 8+GB of storage (using flash
memory cards) I really wish MS would move beyond the "it's just a
peripheral" mindset and realize these ARE (or at least could be) "mini-
laptops." My WinMo phone easily outspecs my first Win98 laptop (an old
Toshiba 120MHz, 64MB RAM, 1GB hard disk) yet is less capable by design,
rather than ability.
