Installing and Removing Applications on Your Handheld

The Install Tool makes it easy to mark applications or files (such as databases or network configuration files) to install during the next HotSync operation.

Applications or files that you install on your handheld are different than the applications that come pre-installed with the device. Applications, files, and information you store on your handheld reside in RAM (random access memory). If you hard-reset your handheld, the applications you have installed will be deleted.

For more information about using the Install Tool, see the following topic:
