You folks have been so helpful. I would know of no other place to turn for
answers to my problems. I have about twenty files on my HP Pocket PC that
has MS Windows Mobile ver 5 on it. I put some files on it a considerable
time back that I would like to retrieve. I have done a search on my desktop
and can see no folder where these files are duplicated. On the device, the
icon has the W sign ... and then on the right side of the W is a small red
box. But as mentioned, I cannot find this file in any format on my PC. Is
there any way these files can be retrieved?

Thank you very much for any help here

simplest approach is to copy these files to a memory card using file
explorer... then, insert the card into a pc card reader to access them
on your pc.

Your description sounds like "Word" files... try using word on the pc to
open them.

I believe I have found the answer. I think using the MS ActiveSync Explorer
I can copy and paste to my hard drive. Will give it a try

You may want to instal the current "Word Viewer" and
"Office Compatibility Pack" on your PC. Google for the
links to the free downloads from MS.
