Adding or Removing Programs
By default, programs added to your device at the factory are stored in the ROM (read only memory).
You cannot remove these programs, and you will never accidentally lose them. You can install any
other programs created for your device, as long as it has enough memory. The most popular web
site to find software for Pocket PC devices is http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc .
To add programs using ActiveSync :
You will need to save the appropriate software to the hard drive of your PC before installing it
on your device.
1. Download the program to your PC (or insert the CD or disk that contains the program into your PC).
Be sure that the program is compatible with your device before installing it.
2. Read any installation instruction or documentation that came with the program. Many programs
provide their own installation instructions.
3. Connect your device to a PC.
4. Double click on the program's .exe file.
n If the file is an installer, the installation wizard will begin. Follow the directions on the screen.

software to your device.

was designed for a different type of PC. You will need to move this file to your device. If you

use the Explore command in ActiveSync to explore the Program Files folder on your
device.
