RE: Hard Reset Question?

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your quick reply,

I am new to Pocket PC development so please excuse my ignorance:

I am using a HP 1710 PDA

On my Root directory (I assume 'My Device' is the root directory) the
permanent storage is called "iPaq File Store" and this is an empty folder.

Where is the 2577 folder ? What is this Folder?

Thanks again

Cush
