6.4 Working With Your Files

6.4.1 Looking At Files On Your netpad

Using Windows Explorer, you can open, move, copy and delete files stored on your netpad from your PC.

• On the PC, double-click on the Mobile Device icon in your PC’s My Computer folder. The

Mobile Device window opens, displaying icons for the files and folders in the My Computer folder.

• Double-click on the netpad’s My Computer folder under Mobile Device, to display the files and folders on the drive. A folder for the multimedia card will be present as the Storage Card folder.

6.4.2 Copying A File Using Drag And Drop

1. Go to the folder you want to copy files from. The left-hand pane of the

Explorer window shows a list of all the disk drives on your PC, along with netpad and network drives (if any). You can expand a branch by clicking on the symbol next to it, or close the branch by clicking on the symbol. The right-hand side of Explorer shows the contents of the folder selected on the left.

2. Use the scroll bar on the right of the left-hand Explorer pane until you can see the drive that contains the folder that you want to copy the file from. Left-click and hold to drag the file or folder to copy.

3. Drag the file or folder up the folder list in the left pane, until you can see the folder that you wish to copy the file into. If the folder you want to copy to is not visible because its branch has not been expanded, hover the dragged file over the folder for a second and it should expand.

This step can be repeated until the folder you want is visible.

4. Drop the file onto the folder name in the left pane, or into the right pane if the folder is open, by releasing the left mouse button.

Copying A File Using Copy And Paste

If necessary, the file is converted into the correct PC format. The file can be used in the same way as any other file on your PC.

6.4.3 Copying A File Using Copy And Paste

Using Windows Explorer, you can copy files between your PC and netpad in the same way you would copy files to a floppy disk, or another PC on a network.

ActiveSync can convert files as they are copied so that you can open them on the other computer immediately.

Within Windows, clicking the right mouse button often displays a context-sensitive

(pop-up) menu – a range of commands relevant to the object that you right-click on.

In Explorer, you can use these menus to copy files between folders, regardless of whether they are on the PC or the netpad.

1. Open Windows Explorer.

2. Navigate to, and expand, the Mobile Device branch of the folder list.

Find the folder that contains the file you wish to copy to the PC and click on it so that its contents are shown in the right-hand pane of the

Explorer window.

3. Right-click on the file and select Copy from the pop-up menu that appears.

4. Navigate to the folder you want to copy this file to, and select it, so that its contents (if any) appear in the right-hand pane of the Explorer window. Right-click in the right-hand pane of the Explorer window, and select Paste from the pop-up menu.
