I got fed up with having to click hide on the hotsync menu each time my machine booted so I wrote this little tool to do it automatically. Place the window.exe and hidesync.bat files in the same directory you installed the pilot software into. This is usually c:\pilot. Remove the link to hotsync.exe from your startup group and replace it with a shortcut to hidesync.bat Let me know if you have any problems. Ofcourse this is Freeware.
