More specifically, can I access the file system from a C# application on my PPC while connected with ActiveSync 4.5?

I figure since explorer can browse it under "Mobile Device"\"My Windows Mobile-Based Device"\ I should be able to as well, but so far no luck.

I read that you want to network file share your PPC to your network. Then it can be seen.

That would be awesome, then I could use a url like \\MyPPC\??

But I can't find any documentation on creating a share on my PPC (an AT&T Fuze, bythe way), just how to map to a network file share from a PPC.

There are utilities to backup your device, so certainly you can copy files across. I was hoping I just lack some knowledge of device naming of explorer extensions. "$\Mobile Device" doesn't work.
