can't sync to a PC through USB - keeps asking for exchange server!

I gave my XV6700 HTC cell phone/PDA running WM6.1 (actually, a cooked ROM from the Helmi kitchen) to my dad. I had been using it to sync data over-the-air with an Exchange server, but he doesn't have an account on such a server, so I deleted that email account in
Messaging. I gave him the device and he plugged it via USB cable into his laptop (XP), hoping to simply sync over USB with the Outlook data on the laptop. Activesync on his machine sees the device, connects, can browse it, etc. But when it tries to sync the Outlook data, the WM device asks for a username/password for an Exchange server! Worse yet, after I bit the bullet and cold-reset, it's still happening!! Where is this setting - why does it still think it needs an exchange server when synchronizing over USB to a laptop? How do I make it forget about the Exchange server and just sync with the laptop like it should? Thanks in advance for any hints.

Mike

Hello. You have to remove from Activesync, too.

the weird part is that there is no exchange server listed in that list, so theres nothing I can remove as this web page suggests. I can't imagine why it thinks there should be an Exchange server. I'm going to try it on a different PC on Monday, to test my last idea, that perhaps it's something about the PC that is causing this (since after a hard reset, there should be nothing remaining on the phone that would prompt this).

Hello. What is the path for the Outlook .pst file on the PC you are having the problem with? It should be in the path C:\Docs and Settings\username\local settings\app data\microsoft\outlook. If not it will ask for username/password.

ah! Interesting. How do I find out where the relevant .pst file is? (sorry, I'm a Unix guy, I don't know how PCs do this kind of thing).

thanks,

Mike
