Is there an easier way to edit a file from the windows directory?

[jmorton10]

I was editing a manilla file a few days ago to eliminate two tabs that I didn't want.

I connected with AS, browsed to the Windows directory & found the file. I then dragged it to my laptop desktop with a right click & told it to "copy here"

I then opened the file in notepad, edited it & saved the changes & then copied it right back to the PPC Windows directory. The only thing that was time consuming in the whole procedure was waiting for the Windows folder to open..........

OK, I just went to try again, and for some reason active sync won't recognize my device. I have the phone set to always ask whether I want to connect as disk drive or active sync - but it is immediately assuming disk drive. I am going to reboot my laptop.

Well, now I feel pretty stupid.

I have no idea why my files weren't copying through active sync before. I'm not sure if I screwed something up when I tried to copy the whole windows directory or what.

I think I may have screwed things up with spb backup - I think there's a problem with their 'sync backups to PC' - I got in an endless loop of errors from spb and had to soft reboot earlier.

Anyway, once I rebooted my laptop, active sync worked much better.

Thanks!

It has never caused me any problems.

Isn't there a Notepad-type program that we could install that would allow us to edit files ON the TP?
