So, for those of you as slow as I am (I just spent the last half hour trying to work out what Robert meant by that (which doesn't mean that I don't think Robert & the rest of the developers are champions, just that his explanation there was a bit too brief for me to trudge through at my usual leisurely mental pace :-)) If I want to have Plucker Desktop automatically install plucked docs to my card at the next hotsync (Windows) I can: 1) Discover my HotSync magic number by checking the registry key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\HotSync Manager] and looking for a value like Install66666. 2) Make a registry stub like: -- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\HotSync Manager] "Install<your magic number here>"=dword:00000005 -- 3) Make a batch file like: -- regedit /s "<Path to your registry stub>\<your registry stub name>.reg" -- (the /s makes it run silent, so you don't get that annoying "Are you sure" dialog) 4) In the "Execute a command after spidering this channel" on the spidering tab of Plucker Desktop call your batch file ... and, hey presto - install to card automatically.
