When I am loading the three WIMS 3 shapefiles into ArcPad, why do the shapefiles appear on both the Pocket PC Main Memory, as well as on the SD card?

We think that the WIMS 3 shapefiles are actually just in one location (on the SD Card; or on the “Disk” on a Trimble unit). But since the default path in ArcPad has been set to the SD Card, the files appear under “Main Memory.” (Note that the path right above the list of files is “\SD Card” (or maybe “My Documents\SD Card”). We recommend to just load your image and these associated shapefiles from the SD card. Why are there two ArcPad icons on my handheld screen (usually under Programs). We are not sure why, but extra ArcPad icons sometimes just appear, and they seem to be shortcuts that the user can place on the Start Menu (\Windows\Start Menu). You can leave them where they are, but if they bother you, you can just delete the extra shortcuts using Windows Explorer on the desktop.
