Restricting pocketpc to one Pc

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

I would say connect to on ePC with a partnership and the other ONLY as a
GUEST. This way you will never be syncing data to the second PC.

I can't think of any way to absolutely restrict the partnership to a
specific PC. I can think of two partial solutions:

1) Use the second partnership with a "harmless" PC. Actually, if you
use multiple IDs on the one acceptable PC, use one of the alternate
IDs (each ID requires a separate partnership).

2) Start fresh. Last I checked, the first time a partnership is
created, the utility asks whether the handheld is going to be involved
in two partnership. The question is stated _very_ badly, so read it
carefully. I'm not sure whether "fresh" means "delete all current
partnerships" or "hard reboot".
