Tips & Warnings
Unless you don't intend to ever use the ActiveSync application, it is recommended to simply stop the synchronization on your phone rather than disabling it on your PC.
When you are on the Startup tab on your PC, be sure that you only disable the "WCESCOMM" application. Disabling anything else may cause problems in your PC's operation.
