Hi Sarai
So far, that's exactly what I've done. I've turned off that automatic
conversion under Tools, Options, Rules or wherever it was. The only
thing I have checked to sync is files. I don't use Outlook but prefer
Outlook Express. I'm happy keeping my addresses and planner stuff only
on the BN.
So, once I do get a wireless card, and I don't know when that will be,
you're saying I can look at, and transfer files back and forth any time?
Gee, I guess that's what it's all about, isn't it. Yup. That was a
dumb comment but I never thought about looking at the PC files through
the BN.

Partnerships with active sync and your BN, allows you to work on files
on one machine and if you want to update your copy on another machine
such as your computer, it will update the info. Make sure the files
option is checked under settings in Active sync. You can also sync
your
contacts and planner with the one in Microsoft outlook. Those options
are controled in the BN under sync options in the utilities menu of
the
BN. When you get your wireless card, you can view files on your
computer
from your BN and copy files to and from the BN and the computer via
your
wireless card. This is creating a network and its simple. I've used my
net work to read files from my computer on my BN and I've even backed
up
my microdrive to my computer via my network. Its faster then Active
Sync
IMO. The only thing you need checked under settings under active sync
is
files and you need to turn off the audamatic converter thing which is
under rules I think that's where it is, just control tab and you
should
see your other tabs under the settings menu. I can work you through it
via telephone, Skype or Messenger. You'll get it, I promise. We'll
have
you running smoothly.

Hi Sarai
Well, that explains how that and other folders got there then. But
I'd
still like to get rid of anything I don't need. Smile.
I followed the User Guide and it suggested going ahead and
establishing
the partnership through USB, etc., and that later I could then use the
same partnership once I get a wireless card for the PC for a wireless
Internet connection.
Am I understanding this connection business? It makes my head spin a
bit. Just kidding. But it is a learning curve.

There is documents and settings on your PC and it might show up if
your
networking your BN and your PC.

Okay. Voila! This is no doubt old hat for most of you, but I got my
BN
connected to my PC through the USB cable and actually transferred a
text
file book onto the BN.
But I got a bit confused initially and I'm not sure if it tried to
sinc
some files and/or folders before I figured out Active Sinc. I don't
want to sinc anything, just transfer files.
So, on the Keysoft drive on the BN, is there a Documents and Settings
folder? I see it there now but don't remember seeing it before.
Kind of a dumb question, I know.
