Overview

Plus! Pack for Windows CE Handheld PC Pro Edition Version 3.0

We like these applications and we think you will, too. If you use a Handheld PC (H/PC) powered by the Microsoft® Windows® operating system, go ahead and try the Plus! Pack out!

We've taken great care to ensure that Plus! Pack applications operate as they should. But please note that these tools are not a part of Windows and are not supported by Microsoft. Plus! Pack is available to you from Microsoft "as is," therefore, Microsoft Technical Support is unable to answer questions about Plus! Pack.

You can run most of these program by selecting Start > Programs > Plus!, then selecting the program name. Program Switcher runs automatically when you turn on your H/PC. Favorites sync automatically when you connect your device to your desktop. Below, following download instructions and system requirements, you'll find some tips for using the software in the Plus! Pack.
