    Question Contacts in Edge Panel keep disappearing

    How to Copy/Share Home Screen Folder & Contents/Shortcuts

    On my Note10+, I've created a folder with shortcuts to various OneDrive folder locations. It took a lot of time to create and I was wondering if there's a way to simply copy/zip & share the folder/contents so I can put it on another phone. Thanks!

    Outlook & HTC Favorites Syncing Issue

    Just got my One and got all contacts synced fine. All the groups are syncing as they should except for Favorites. Any Favorites I have in Outlook don't show up on my One's Favorites list and vice versa--if i "favorite" a contact on the One it doesn't show up in Outlook. Ideas? Thanks!!!
