Explore
From the ActiveSync Dialog on the Desktop PC, tap the Explore button, which allows you to explore the mobile device from
the PC side, with some limitations. You can copy files to or from the mobile device by drag-and-drop. You will not be allowed to
delete files or copy files out of the \Windows folder on the mobile device. (Technically, the only files you cannot delete or copy
are ones marked as system files in the original build of the Windows image. This, however, includes most of the files in the
\Windows folder).
