SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to limit data that is synchronized from a Pocket PC (PPC) device or a Handheld PC (H/PC) device to a desktop computer, items that you configured to not be synchronized are transferred to the desktop computer.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because synchronization restrictions apply only in a single direction from the desktop (host) computer to the H/PC or PPC device, and not from the device to the desktop computer.



MORE INFORMATION
The desktop computer is the default master device and this setting cannot be changed. Therefore, the synchronization restrictions are applied to data that is being synchronized from the desktop computer to the PPC or H/PC device. You cannot configure synchronization restrictions to be applied to data that is being synchronized from the PPC or H/PC device.
