Exploring entire device

thanks for the quick replies. My issue is not really with the actual "exploring". It's more with the ability to search all the contents within that device, including the system folders. While you can search the peronal data, the ability to search within "My windows Mobile-based device" is unavailable, which contains all the stuff I really want to look at

You need to make sure that you go into the views section of the folder while on active sync and check the show hidden files and folders box. There is aolso a free program called CeRegEditor that will let you into all the files as well from your desktop.

CeRegEditor allows you to view / edit your Windows Mobile registry from your desktop. The OP is trying to use something like the WM Start | Programs | Search application to search within his files, but from his desktop.
