Please log in for more thread options WAD is my keyboard acting up, and my not proofing my post before hitting
send. That was intended to be WMDC. Like I said though, don't really know
if you can shut them down. I'd give it a shot. Wouldn't surprise me if they
didn't start back up when you connect a WM device.
In Vista, without WAD, you can actually connect a device and browse it and
copy files to and from via the standard explorer. If you get the cab file
for WM programs you can copy that over and load (install) directly on the
device. If you also use Exchange sync, over the cell network, you could
actually use a WM device without ever putting WAD on your PC.
It really is my keyboard, BTW. New one on the way under warranty.
