The Mobile Favorites Folder
Only items stored in the Mobile Favorites folder in the Favorites folder in Internet Explorer on your PC will be
synchronized with your device. 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 PC is synchronized with Pocket
Internet Explorer on your device. Both the PC and your device 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 will be downloaded to your
device, and you will need to connect to your ISP or network to view the content. For more information on
synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the PC.
Mobile Favorites
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later on your PC, you can download mobile favorites to your device.
Synchronizing mobile favorites downloads Web content to your device so that you can view pages while you are
disconnected from your ISP and PC.
Use the Internet Explorer plug in installed with ActiveSync to quickly create mobile favorites.
To create a mobile favorite:
1. In Internet Explorer on your desktop computer, click Tools and then Create Mobile Favorite.
2. To change the link name, enter a new name in the Name box.
3. Optionally, in Update, select a desired update schedule.
4. Click OK. Internet Explorer downloads the latest version of the page to your desktop computer.
5. Limit the number of downloaded linked pages. In Internet Explorer on the desktop computer, click Favorites; then
move your mouse through Mobile Favorites to the mobile favorite you want to change. Finally, right-click the
mobile favorite and then Properties; in the Download tab, specify 0 or 1 for the number of linked pages you want
to download.
6. Synchronize your device and desktop computer. Mobile favorites that are stored in the Mobile Favorites folder in
Internet Explorer are downloaded to your device.
If a scheduled update was not specified in step 3, content will have to be manually
downloaded to update both computers. To see the last time content was downloaded to
the computer, click Tools then Synchronize from the Internet Explorer window. Manually
download content as needed.
To add a button to your computer’s Internet Explorer toolbar for creating mobile favorites,
