Pocket Pc to network

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

No, the only way to access the PocketPC is via ActiveSync Explore. That is by design.

When you install programs to your PPC, its usually done from the desktop while in an ActiveSync
session. The program will ask you where you want to install to. Sometimes developers create a .cab
file that you simply copy over to the PPC and execute on the PPC.
