Palm with Windows 2000

Install Palm Desktop software

The Palm Desktop software for Windows is what the Palm people distribute with a Palm Organizer. It can also be downloaded from the Palm home page. It basically provides a Windows application that does address books, calendar and to-do lists. It also provides the HotSync Manager, which is started at boot time and responds whenever a user hits the Hot Sync button on the Palm cradle.

Configure Palm Desktop/Meeting Maker

In W2k, right-click on the little Hotsync Manager icon in the task bar. Select Custom.... Select Pete Siemsen. For each item in the list, select it and click Change.... Set them carefully until you have this:
