I have tried to mess with these to turn off Auto on feature in Active Sync, as this causes it to be permanently on, but no luck. In any event, there is some pretty useful info and I am sure someone will be able to come up with some good tweaks here?

All ActiveSync device-related subkeys and values are stored under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services registry key on the Windows CE-based device.

The following table shows the values for the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services registry key.

Note The default registry values vary depending on which Catalog items are included in your OS design. For more information, see Default Registry Settings.

Value : type	Description

Version : REG_DWORD	Default setting is 20000. Specifies the software version number.

NoSubFolderIn : REG_SZ	Default setting is "\My Documents", which is LOC_NOSUBFOLDERIN in datasync.str. Specifies the only synchronizable folder where the user is allowed to create subfolders.

FileSyncPath : REG_SZ	Default setting is "\My Documents", which is LOC_FILESYNCPATH in datasync.str.

Specifies the folder to be synchronized during file synchronization.

DefaultNpwNoServer : REG_DWORD	This value is not present by default. Creating this value and setting it to 1 will cause the Exchange Server sync selection in the New Partnership Wizard to be unchecked. Users can still select this option, but it will not be selected by default. Setting this value is recommended as most users will want to syncronize with their desktop rather than a server.

Synchronizable Objects Registry Settings

All synchronizable objects are stored under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Windows CE Services\Synchronization\Objects subkey on the target device.

The following table shows the values for the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Windows CE Services\Synchronization\Objects subkey.

Note that registry settings for Contacts, Appointment, and Tasks cannot be disabled.

Value : type	Description

File\Store : REG_SZ	Default setting is Cefobj.dll. Specifies the name of the File ActiveSync service provider.

Contact\Store : REG_SZ	Default setting is Pegobj.dll . Specifies the name of the Contact ActiveSync service provider.

Appointment\Store : REG_SZ	Default setting is Pegobj.dll. Specifies the name of the Appointment ActiveSync service provider.

Task\Store : REG_SZ	Default setting is Pegobj.dll. Specifies the name of the Task ActiveSync service provider.

Inbox\Store : REG_SZ	Default setting is Pegobj.dll. Specifies the name of the String ActiveSync service provider.

Connectivity Registry Settings

The registry settings related to ActiveSync connectivity are stored under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Comm registry key on the target device.

The following table lists the registry values for the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Comm registry key.

Value : type	Description

AutoCnct : DWORD	Default setting is 1 (on). This value turns Autoconnect on and off.

Cnct : REG_SZ	Specifies the default connection used when the device is cradled. If this value is not set, the user must select a connection to use when cradling a device.

This string must be prefixed with a backquote (`) for the connection to appear in the ActiveSync user interface.

Note Only RAS entries prefixed with a backquote will appear in the ActiveSync user interface. See Phone-Book Entries for details.
