There are many ways to download different types of files to your device. Where your device stores downloaded files depends on the type of file and the method used to download it. Here are some common download scenarios to help you locate downloaded files on your device.
ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) - If you use the ActiveSync or WMDC programs to move a program or file manually from your computer to your device, you will determine the location of that program or file. Usually this will be in one of the folders in the My Device folder. Be aware that a downloaded program may be moved by the device after it is installed (see "Locating program downloads" in this topic).
Notes
ActiveSync on your device works with Windows Mobile Device Center on Windows Vista, and with ActiveSync on Windows XP.
Locating media downloads - When You Download music, ring tones, or videos from a Web site, the files will be added automatically to the appropriate folder. For example, ring tones will be added to the My Ringtones folder.
Locating program downloads - Program files behave differently than media files because they must be installed after they have been downloaded. When a program is installed, it will be stored by the device in an appropriate location. For example, a game will be installed in the Games folder.
