Blueman,
Some thoughts:
A. "Still looking for a way to delete a file, but the rest is fine."
Use pocket explorer to locate the file, tap and hold the fileneme and a dialogue box comes up with options-including delete the file.
B. "Kinda odd way to do that--through the sync software and cradle."
Can't argue with you. Many software authors provide .cab files (compressed executables that install the program from within the pocket pc) and, in fact, most desktop installation files leave a copy of the .cab file somewhere in the Program Files directory of your C drive. Finally, there are a small number of Pocket PC .exe programs around that run directly on the Pocket PC.
C. I'd recommend checking out the forums, particularly the HX4700 forum, at
http://www.brighthand.com. There are some sharp PPC programmers that spend a lot of time there.
D. Finally, check out a program called Tweaks2k2.net. I think you will find it useful in more ways than one.
