With my new Dell Axim X51, ActiveSync 4.0 appears to sync every 5
minutes or so even though the only desktop ActiveSync provider
configured is my own. The ActiveSync Tools => Schedule... menu item is
greyed out in the desktop ActiveSync.

Question: For WM 5.0 and ActiveSync 4.0, is there anyway to
programatically set how often my desktop ActiveSync provider is
automatically initiated by ActiveSync?

Question: Is there anyway to enable the ActiveSync desktop Tools =>
"Schedule..." menu item, and use this same dialog box for my own
desktop ActiveSync provider?

Question: Is there anyway for my code to know when a sync is initiated
automatically versus when the end-user clicks on the desktop ActiveSync
"Sync" button?

Question: Are there any related registry settings for controlling how
often ActiveSync 4.0 syncs for a WM 5.0 device?

Thanks.

The only way you can 'control' this is to physically disconnect it from the
pc to stop it from syncing

the problem is in windows mobile 5, not activesync 4

they removed the option to change this setting for whatever reason
