Technical Note 10

Reaction Software Inc.

This Technical Note provides step-by-step instructions on how to configure Express Sync to sync with a WAB file that is not the default WAB file.

This Technical Note is for advanced users and requires editing registry settings. Incorrectly editing the registry can render your computer inoperable.

  1. Run regedit:
    1. Click on the Start menu and select Run....
    2. Type regedit in the Open: field and click OK.

  2. Select the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Reaction Software Inc.\Express Sync.

  3. Add a new string value:
    1. Right-click in the right pane and select New | String Value.

    2. Type WABFile as the name of the value.
  4. Double click on the WABFile entry to edit the string value, and then enter the full path of the WAB file you want to sync with. For example, if you want to sync with C:\Users\todd\todd.wab, then enter C:\Users\todd\todd.wab in the Value data: field.

    Click OK, and then exit regedit.

  5. The next time you perform a HotSync operation, Express Sync will sync with the WAB file specified in the registry. The first time you sync with a new file, you should perform a one-way synchronization.
