Chapter 7: Pocket Internet Explorer
®
Use Microsofot
Pocket Internet Explorer to view Web or WAP pages in either of the following
two ways.
• During synchronization with your desktop computer, download your favorite links and mobile
favorites that are stored in the Mobile Favorites subfolder in Internet Explorer on the desktop
computer.
• Connect to an Internet service provider (ISP) or network and browse the Web. To do this, you'll
need to create the connection first, as described in Chapter 8.
To switch to Pocket Internet Explorer, tap
The Mobile Favorites Folder
Only items stored in the Mobile Favorites subfolder in the Favorites folder in Internet Explorer on
your desktop computer will be synchronized with your Pocket PC. This folder was created
automatically when you installed ActiveSync.
Favorite Links
During synchronization, the list of favorite links in the Mobile Favorites folder on your desktop
computer is synchronized with Pocket Internet Explorer on your Pocket PC. Both computers are
updated with changes made to either list each time you synchronize. Unless you mark the favorite
link as a mobile favorite, only the link will be downloaded to your Pocket PC, and you will need
to connect to your ISP or network to view the content. For more information on synchronization,
see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer.
Mobile Favorites
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later on your desktop computer, you can
download mobile favorites to your Pocket PC. Synchronizing mobile favorites downloads Web
content to your Pocket PC so that you can view Web pages while you are disconnected from your
ISP and desktop computer.
Use the Internet Explorer plug-in installed with ActiveSync to create mobile favorites quickly.
To create a mobile favorite
1. In Internet Explorer on your desktop computer, click Tools and then Create Mobile Favorite.
2. To change the link name, enter a new name in the Name box.
3. Optionally, in Update, select a desired update schedule.
4. Click OK. Internet Explorer downloads the latest version of the Web page to your desktop
computer.
5. If you want to download the pages that are linked to the mobile favorite you just created, in
Internet Explorer on the desktop computer, right-click the mobile favorite and then click
Properties. On the Download tab, specify the number of links deep you want to download. To
conserve Pocket PC memory, only go one level deep.
6. Synchronize your Pocket PC and desktop computer. Mobile favorites that are stored in the
Mobile Favorites folder in Internet Explorer are downloaded to your Pocket PC.
