What’s Next

After installing Yahoo! Autosync, you’ll see two Autosync icons; one on the taskbar, and one on the desktop. You’ll use the taskbar icon to manually initiate the syncing operation, change your preferences, change your ID and password, and more. You’ll use the desktop icon infrequently, if at all, to manually start the Autosync application should it close down for some reason (Autosync always starts when you restart your computer).
