When you HotSync, your applications are copied by the HotSync process to
a Backup folder; when you then go to restore from a hard reset, the
backed-up items are automatically restored.
To do a clean install, you need to find the Backup folder and move it
out of the way before HotSyncing.
On Windows, you find the folder as follows:
* Take the last name/first initial of your HotSync name, up to 8
characters (so mine is KamensS)
* Look in c:\Program Files\Palm\KamensS\Backup
Not sure where it is on the Mac.
Hope this Helps,
Sam
