■ Creates a folder for the user name in the Users folder inside the Palm folder. For
example, if you entered Jane Garcia as your user name, a folder called Jane
Garcia is created in the Users folder.
■ Creates a file named User Data in your user name folder.
User names appear in the User pop-up on the right side of the toolbar. You can
change users by selecting a new name in the pop-up menu.
Each subsequent time you perform a HotSync operation, HotSync Manager reads
the user name from your handheld and synchronizes the data in the folder of the
same name.
Be sure you select the correct user name from the User pop-up before entering data
on Palm Desktop or performing a HotSync operation.
If you are a System Administrator preparing several handhelds for a group of
users, you may want to create a user profile. See“Creating a user profile” later in
this chapter before performing the following steps.
IMPORTANT You must perform your first HotSync operation with a local, direct
connection, or with infrared communication.
The following steps assume that you have already installed Palm Desktop
software. See “Step 4: Install software” in Chapter 1 if you have not installed this
software.
