Is there a way to refer to my WM6 device from a Windows XP batch
file? I basically want to copy video files from my desktop to the
storage card on my Smartphone. It looks like I can't just say
something like "\my mobile device\storage card\" and it won't let me
map a drive to it.

Take a look at my Rapi utilities at
http://scottandmichelle.net/scott/cestuff/rapiutils.zip . With these
tools you can do a few different things on the device from the command
line, for instance, to copy a file to the device, you can use
rapicopy:

rapicopy sourcefile.txt "\My Documents\DeviceFile.txt"

yes, however, that directory is only valid when you have the device in the
cradle and activeynch is active, so check for the device in the cradle
before you try and copy files to it

to expand on the other responses... while file transfers using an
activesync connection are possible, the basic windows mobile design is
that ppc's are "client only" os's, so, without external software, the
ppc's file system is not accessible using other client software.

Note that you can make the contents of the storager card accessible without
any 3rd app install (not even AS) on the desktop with third-party apps
runnable on the handset.
