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
mobile 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
favorite you just created, in Internet Explorer on 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 Synchronize. 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.
To save device memory
Mobile favorites take up storage memory on your device. To minimize the
amount of memory used:
■ In the settings for the Favorites information type in ActiveSync
options, turn off pictures and sounds, or stop some mobile favorites
from being downloaded to the device. For more information, see
ActiveSync Help.
■ Limit the number of downloaded linked pages. In Internet Explorer on
the computer, right-click the mobile favorite you want to change and
then Properties. In the Download tab, specify 0 or 1 for the number
of linked pages you want to download.
