You cannot open files or start programs stored on the P/PC by double-clicking their icons in the Mobile Devices window. When you double-click the icon for a file or program that is stored on the P/PC, Windows CE Services displays the properties for that file or program, as if you had clicked Properties on the File menu.

Synchronizing data

Windows CE Services with ActiveSync enables you to synchronize data between the HP Jornada and desktop PC, so the names you add to your Contacts database and the appointments you add to your Calendar while traveling can be automatically updated on your desktop PC when you return. You can also synchronize messages in the HP Jornada Inbox with Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop PC, and download channels.

You can set ActiveSync either to synchronize automatically each time you connect the HP Jornada to your desktop PC, or to synchronize continuously whenever the synchronized information changes, for as long as the computers are connected. You can also synchronize at any moment by choosing Synchronize Now from the Tools menu in the Mobile Devices window.

Synchronizing selected data

You can choose some or all of the following items to be synchronized:

·Calendar, Contacts, or Tasks information—Exchange and update information on the HP Jornada with information stored in Outlook or Schedule+ on your desktop PC.

·E-mail messages—Share messages between selected folders in the HP Jornada Inbox and Exchange or Outlook on your desktop PC. For information on Inbox, see “Using Inbox” on page 61.
