I can't find my user folder
Windows: If your device name is one
word, your user folder name is the first six
characters of your device name. If your
device name is two words, your user folder
name consists of the first six characters of
the second word of your device name
followed by the first letter of the first word.
For example, if your device name is John
Smith, your user folder is named SmithJ.
Your user folder is usually located inside
one of the following folders:
C:\Program Files\Palm\
C:\Program Files\palmOne\
C:\Program Files\Handspring\
Mac: Your user folder name is the same as
your device name and is usually found in
this location: <Mac hard drive> : Users :
<your Mac username> : Documents :
Palm : Users
What is the backup folder?
The Backup folder is located inside your
user folder (see I can't find my user folder).
During synchronization, HotSync
puts a copy of most of your info and
applications in the Backup folder. (Some
third-party apps do not put a copy in the
Backup folder.) The next time you sync,
HotSync Manager compares the contents
of the Backup folder to the contents of your
smartphone, and then restores any missing
info or applications.
If an app that you deleted reappears on
your smartphone, try deleting the app from
your Backup folder.
