Mobile Favorites Folder
Only items stored in the Mobile Favorites subfolder in the Favorites folder in Internet Explorer
on your desktop computer are synchronized with your MobilePro. This folder was created
automatically when you installed ActiveSync.
Favorite Links
During synchronization, the list of favorite links in the Mobile Favorites folder on your desktop
computer is synchronized with Pocket Internet Explorer on your MobilePro. Both computers are
updated with changes made to either list each time you synchronize. Unless you mark the
favorite link as a mobile favorite, only the link is downloaded to your MobilePro, and you need
to connect to your ISP or network to view the content. For more information on synchronization,
see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer.
Mobile Favorites
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later on your desktop computer, you can
download mobile favorites to your MobilePro. Synchronizing mobile favorites downloads Web
