Explore

From the ActiveSync Dialog on the Desktop PC, click on the Explore button, which allows you to
explore the MX8 from the PC side, with some limitations.
You can copy files to or from the MX8 using drag-and-drop.
You will not be allowed to delete files or copy files out of the \Windows directory on the MX8.
(Technically, the only files you cannot delete or copy are ones marked as system files in the
original build of the Windows OS image. This, however, includes most of the files in the
\Windows directory).
For example, you can drag the "LXEbook – MX8 User's Guide" from your desktop computer to
the My Documents folder on the MX8.
