Chapter 6: Pocket Internet Explorer
Mobile Favorites
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later on your computer,
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 computer.
Use the Internet Explorer plug-in installed with ActiveSync to create mo-
bile favorites quickly.
To create a mobile favorite:
1. In Internet Explorer on your computer, click Tools and then Create
Mobile Favorite.
2. To change the link name, enter a new name in the Name box.
3. In Update, select a desired update schedule.
4. Click OK. Internet Explorer downloads the latest version of the page
to your computer.
5. If you want to download the pages that are linked to the mobile favor-
ite you just created, in Internet Explorer on the your PC, right-click the
mobile favorite and then click Properties. In the Download tab,
specify the number of links deep you want to download. To conserve
device memory, go only one level deep.
6. Synchronize your device and computer. Mobile favorites that are stored
in the Mobile Favorites folder in Internet Explorer are downloaded to
your device.
If you did not specify an update schedule in step 3, you will need to
manually download content to keep the information updated on
your computer and device. Before synchronizing with your device,
in Internet Explorer on your computer, click Tools and then Syn-
chronize. You will see the last time content was downloaded to the
computer, and you can manually download content if needed.
You can add a button to the Internet Explorer toolbar for creating
mobile favorites. In Internet Explorer on your computer, click View,
Toolbars, and then Customize.
