Where Are the Changes I Made to My File?

Don’t look for the changed file in its original location on your computer. Only the synchronized
version of the file contains the changes. To find the synchronized file, do one of the following:

Windows XP: Do either of the following:

On your computer desktop, double-click the My Documents icon. This is a
shortcut to the Files sync folder.

In ActiveSync desktop software, double-click Files. The location of the Files sync folder
appears in the File Synchronization Settings dialog box (under “On this computer,
synchronize the files in this folder”).

Windows Vista: Open the Documents\ Documents on Device folder.

On Your Treo: Press Start

and

select

File Explorer. Select the list in the upper-left corner

and select My Device > My Documents.

Did you know?

The

Documents on <device name’s> Device

folder is created when you

select the option to sync files.
