TIP If you don’t have Outlook installed on your computer, you can download a trial version of Outlook 2007. On your smartphone, press Start and select Settings. Select the System tab, select PC Setup, and then select Set up my PC. Connect your smartphone to your computer using the USB cable. On the screen that appears on your computer, select the link to download a trial version of Outlook 2007.

If you set up synchronization with desktop sync software, information in the Favorites application is synchronized by default as well.

DID YOU KNOW? Synchronizing Favorites gives you an easy way to get favorites from the web browser on your computer into the web browser on your smartphone. Just add them to the folder called Mobile Favorites, which shows up in your computer's browser. When you sync, they become available on your smartphone as well. Backup copies of any favorites that you add on the smartphone browser are also stored in the Mobile Favorites folder.

You can remove applications or add others to the list of applications that synchronize. For example, you can change settings to synchronize Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and PDF files, as well as pictures, music, videos, and other types of files (see Changing which applications sync). If you want to synchronize music or other files that appear in the Windows Media Player Mobile library on your smartphone (see Windows Media Player Mobile), you need Windows Media Player 10 or later on your computer.

TIP If you don’t have Windows Media Player installed on your computer, you can download it for free from microsoft.com.

If you want to synchronize with a personal information manager (PIM) other than Microsoft Office Outlook, you must install a third-party solution. Contact the PIM’s vendor to learn if software is available for your smartphone.
