It's Easy to Re-install Some Applications
It's a bother to restore a Pocket PC that you've had to hard reset it. We don't always remember to make backups either through ActiveSync or through backup software. And, some software requires the input of unlocking codes. (Make sure you put in your name in Owner Information exactly like you had it in there before; some unlock codes use your name as part of the process.) Then you need the unlocking code itself. It's a good idea to keep those codes in a safe place, like in a Note on your Pocket PC titled "software codes", or in an Outlook Mail folder titled "Pocket PC Software Codes."Also, be aware that you can re-install software that you had previously installed through ActiveSync. ActiveSync keeps the files necessary to re-install a program onto your Pocket PC. In ActiveSync on your desktop PC, go in to Tools>Add/Remove Programs.You'll see a list of all the programs you've ever installed onto your Pocket PC. Those with a check mark are already installed; to install a program, have your Pocket PC in its Sync cradle, then check the program you want to install. ActiveSync will then install it on your Pocket PC. (Conversely, if you want to uninstall a piece of software, you can uncheck it in ActiveSync, and it will be uninstalled from your Pocket PC.)
