When you installed Palm Desktop software, you entered a user name. This user
name is the connection between your handheld and your computer.
The first time you perform a HotSync operation the Palm Desktop software:

Creates a folder for the user name in the Users folder inside the Palm folder. For
example, if you entered Jane Garcia as your user name, a folder called Jane
Garcia is created in the Users folder.
■
Creates a file named User Data in your user name folder.
NOTE
User names appear in the User pop-up on the right side of the toolbar. You can
change users by selecting a new name in the pop-up menu.
Each subsequent time you perform a HotSync operation, HotSync Manager reads
the user name from your handheld and synchronizes the data in the folder of the
same name.
NOTE
Be sure you select the correct user name from the User pop-up before
entering data on Palm Desktop or performing a HotSync operation.
