Shortcut to Mobile Device?
|
From: Terry Pinnell on 27 Aug 2009 07:18 The shortcut I have on my XP PC desktop to open my HTC Touch Pro 2 is one of those odd ones that don't show a proper targets. Just 'Mobile Device', greyed out. I want to be able to open it using other methods, such as entered directly into the Run box, or as part of a macro, etc. So I need the proper target. Anyone here know please? -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK

Might look for third party solutions such as ftp servers or that give the ability to connect your device as a thumb drive. Beverly Howard

If the goal is to access it from batch files, then there are tools to enable that (such as my own rapitools), but since the device doesn't act as a file server, there's no way to access it from random applications. -- --------- Scott Seligman <scott at <firstname> and michelle dot net> --------- Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
