Terminology

You should know and understand the following terms prior to reading through this guide.
A complete Glossary is also provided at the end of this document.

Main Computer: This is your primary computer where you would most commonly save
data files and e-mail.

Guest Computer: A guest computer is a system that you would temporarily use to
access important data originally stored on your main computer.

Personalize: The process of temporarily changing a guest computer’s look and feel by
personalizing the wallpaper, desktop files, Outlook® content, and Internet Explorer
settings so it matches those on your main computer. Migo automatically personalizes
your environment each time you log into a guest computer, making it appear as your
own.

Chapter 1 – Migo Preview

Migo provides the flexibility that allows you to bring your critical data and computer
settings with you wherever you go without having to carrying a laptop, external CD-
ROM drive, CDs, floppies, or other storage devices.

Access your Microsoft Outlook® e-mail from any computer

When you use your DataTraveler II Plus Migo on another computer you can access, send,
and receive new e-mail. As opposed to Web-based e-mail, you store all your e-mail on
the DataTraveler II Plus Migo so you can work on your correspondence even if you are
not connected to the Internet. When you return to your main computer, all of your e-mail
changes are automatically synchronized with your main computer’s Outlook®.

Use different Windows systems and different versions of Outlook

Migo lets you work between different versions of Microsoft Windows®. It also lets you
use your Outlook® e-mail, calendar appointments, and other items on machines running
Outlook 2000®, Outlook 2002®, or Outlook 2003®.

5
Use your Microsoft Internet Explorer® settings on any computer

Migo gives you ease of use and security by letting you bring along the following
Microsoft Internet Explorer® settings from your main computer:
• Internet Explorer Favorites: Migo automatically copies all of your
Favorites. Once you plug your DataTraveler II Plus Migo into another
computer and launch Migo, all of your Favorites appear when you use Internet
Explorer.
• Cookies: Migo will copy your browser’s cookies and use them when you are
logged into the guest computer. Web sites store passwords and user
information in your cookies so you can have the convenience of automatically
accessing your accounts. Browsing with your DataTraveler II Plus Migo is
more secure than using a guest computer by itself. If you have used another
computer, without Migo, to log into your bank account, you most likely will
leave a cookie behind which could contain your user name and password
information. By working from your DataTraveler II Plus Migo, Migo’s leave
no data functionality ensures that all your browser cookies stay with you and
not on the guest computer.
• History: Migo captures your recent browser activity so you can easily return
to URLs that you have visited in the past. As for cookies, Migo’s leave no
data functionality ensures that all records of visited Web sites stay on your
DataTraveler II Plus Migo and not on the guest machine.
• Home Page: Migo records your Internet home page. When you click the
Home button you will be taken to your own home page, no matter what
computer you are using.

6
Maintain privacy by leaving no data

Migo not only gives you portability, but it also assures the privacy of your data. With
Migo’s leave no data functionality, you can work on sensitive files and access password-
protected Web pages without leaving personal data on a guest computer. This privacy
protection works in three popular areas:
• Web Sites: As previously described, Migo lets you bring along a select
number of Internet Explorer settings so you can use your Favorites to navigate
through regularly accessed sites. When you are done and have logged out of
Migo, all records of your use such as cookies, history, etc., are purged from
the guest computer. Absolutely no details are left behind as to the sites visited
or which passwords were used.
• Microsoft Word®, Excel®, and PowerPoint®: When you use Migo to bring
along important Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files, you can edit these
documents and create additional files on any guest computer which has
Microsoft Office® installed. Under each application’s File menu is a list of
the most recently accessed documents. Migo will temporarily replace the
guest computer’s list with your own most recent documents. It also removes
any file entries from this list when you log out and returns the guest computer
back to its original state.
• Recent Documents: Migo even removes record of the files you have used,
from the guest computer’s memory, regardless of the application. The names
of the files you worked on would normally be found in Start>Documents.
However, Migo deletes these entries from the list when you log out.
Therefore, the next user who logs into this computer will not have a record of
your work.

Chapter 2 - Getting up and running with Migo
What’s in this Chapter?
This chapter gives you detailed instructions to help you get up and running with Migo.

Summary of steps
Working with Migo can be divided into these main steps:
• Connect the DataTraveler II Plus Migo into your main computer’s USB port.
• Use Migo software to capture your computer’s data and settings.
• When you want to use your files and settings on another computer, take your
DataTraveler II Plus Migo to a guest computer and plug it in.
• Log into your main computer’s profile on your DataTraveler II Plus Migo.
• When you have finished working, return the DataTraveler II Plus Migo to your main
computer and let Migo synchronize and update your files.

The rest of this chapter describes each of these main steps in detail. For additional help,
visit Kingston online support at http://www.kingston.com/support.

Capture your main computer’s data and settings


1. Insert your DataTraveler II Plus Migo into your computer’s USB port.
2. Open My Computer.
3. Double-click on the Removable Disk icon (Figure 1).
4. Double-click on the Migo icon to start running Migo.

Figure 1. Double-click on the Removable Disk icon.

8
5. The installer will unpack itself as shown in (Figure 2) below. Follow the steps
provided by the installation wizard to install the Migo software.

Figure 2. Unpacking Migo

6. The End User License Agreement appears. Carefully review the agreement and click
Accept to continue.

Figure 3. License agreement

7. You now need to provide a nickname for your main computer. It can be anything:
“main,” “work,” “school,” “home,” etc. Just choose something that helps you readily
identify this computer profile (Figure 4).

Figure 4. Set Computer Nickname

Tip: If you set different wallpaper for each computer, you will be able to visually identify
the computer since Migo shows a small thumbnail of each system’s wallpaper.

You have completed the initial configuration as a first-time user. In the next section, you
will synchronize your DataTraveler II Plus Migo with your main computer.

Synchronization

You are now ready to synchronize Migo with your computer. Synchronization is
performed in Migo’s main Synchronize window (Figure 5).

Figure 5. Migo’s main Synchronize window.

10
The following options are available for synchronization:

• The first checkbox in the Synchronize area is selected by default to


synchronize your DataTraveler II Plus Migo with your desktop files;
deselect this checkbox only if you do not want these files to be
synchronized.

• The second checkbox is selected by default to synchronize your Microsoft


Outlook® inbox e-mail; deselect this checkbox only if you do not want
these files to be synchronized, or if you don’t use Outlook® on this
computer.

• The next checkbox is selected by default to capture your Microsoft


Internet Explorer® settings; deselect this checkbox only if you do not
want these files to be copied.

Note: If you want to synchronize files that are older than 30 days, you’ll need to adjust
Migo’s default settings. See “Setting File Options” on page 25 for details.

The Migo Meter (found in the middle of the Synchronization window) now scans your
computer to determine which files need to be synchronized.

Click Synchronize at any time. Synchronization will start as soon as the Migo Meter is
finished with its calculations (See Figure 5 on page 10).

A dialog box appears similar to that in (Figure 6), showing you each file as it is
synchronized to your DataTraveler II Plus Migo.

Figure 6. Synchronization progress.

11
When synchronization has finished, you will see a confirmation dialog box. All the files,
e-mail, browser settings, desktop wallpaper, etc., that you selected will be synchronized
to your DataTraveler II Plus Migo (Figure 7).

Figure 7. Migo synchronize complete message

You can now remove the DataTraveler II Plus Migo from your computer and take it to
another system.

Warning!!! If your computer is running Windows 2000®, you must use the Unplug or
Eject Hardware utility to stop your DataTraveler II Plus Migo before removing it from
your computer. See (Chapter 4), “Windows 2000 Instructions” for the steps required to
accomplish this. Failure to follow the procedure could damage your DataTraveler II Plus
Migo, your computer, or both.

12
Take your DataTraveler II Plus Migo to another computer
1. When you are ready to use your files and settings on another machine, connect
your DataTraveler II Plus Migo to the guest computer’s USB port.
2. Open My Computer.
3. Double-click on the Removable Disk icon (Figure 8).
4. Double-click on the Migo icon to start running Migo.

Figure 8. Double-click on the Removable Disk icon.

Log into your main computer’s profile on your DataTraveler II Plus Migo
The Computer Use dialog box may appear next (Figure 9). If this dialog box appears,
you will need to choose the appropriate mode:
a. Choose Synchronize Mode if you want to create a new computer profile by
synchronizing your Desktop files, folders, Outlook items, etc.

b. Choose Login Mode to access your main computer’s profile on a guest


computer.

Figure 9. Computer Use Dialog Box

13
Note: If you choose Synchronize Mode, Migo will set up the computer for full
synchronization, exactly the same way the initial computer in “Capture your main
computer’s data and settings,” was done. For the sake of this installation, we will
assume you want to use this computer temporarily to access your main computer’s
profile, and therefore will choose Login Mode.

Once Migo is activated on the computer, Migo’s Login Pulldown tab will appear at the
top of the screen as shown in (Figure 10 below).

Tip: To disable this tab, right-click on Migo in the system tray and deselect the Show
Login Pull down option (Figure 10).

Figure 10. Disable Migo’s Login Pulldown

14
Click the Migo tab, as shown in (Figure 11). The tab drops down to display the choice of
computers available. Each computer is identified by its nickname and snapshot of its
desktop image. Choose the computer profile you would like to use by clicking on the
corresponding desktop image or nickname.

Figure 11. Selecting a Migo profile

15
Migo takes a few moments to personalize your environment by applying your selected
computer’s desktop, wallpaper, files, Favorites, Outlook® e-mail, etc. (Figure 12).

Figure 12. Logging into your main computer’s profile.

16
Now you can send and receive e-mails, create new contacts and/ or other Outlook®
items, edit files and folders in My Documents and browse the Internet using your own
Internet Explorer® settings. When you are finished working, you can log out of Migo in
one of three ways:

a. Click the Migo tab, then click Yes at the logout confirmation screen.
b. Click the Migo button on the taskbar to bring up the logout confirmation screen,
then click Yes at the logout confirmation screen.
c. Click on the Migo icon in the system tray, then click Yes at the logout
confirmation screen.

The guest computer is then restored to its original state. All your work is stored onto your
DataTraveler II Plus Migo. You can now remove the DataTraveler II Plus Migo from the
guest computer.

Warning!!! If the computer is running Windows 2000®, you must use the Unplug or
Eject Hardware utility to stop the drive before removing it from the computer. See
Chapter 4, “Windows 2000 Instructions” for step-by-step instructions.

Tip: Remember, all the work you have done will be stored on your DataTraveler II Plus
Migo drive. Once you plug the drive into your main computer’s USB port and run the
Migo application, Migo will automatically recognize files, folders, and Outlook items
that need to be synchronized.

Warning!!! By default, only files created in the My Documents folder or your desktop
will be transported back to your DataTraveler II Plus Migo. Files created on the C:
drive, network folders, or other locations will not be synchronized to your drive.

17
Return to your main computer

Now that you have used your DataTraveler II Plus Migo to work on a guest computer,
you are ready to return to your main computer and have Migo automatically synchronize
your work. Please follow the steps below:

1. Connect your DataTraveler II Plus Migo to your main computer’s USB


port.
2. Migo’s Synchronize window appears (see Figure 13 below). The Migo
Meter automatically starts its calculations.
3. Click the Synchronize button to update your files at any time. Depending
on what modifications you made, you will see the following items appear
in the Synchronize list:

• Files and Outlook® items that have changed from either your
main computer or guest computer(s).
• Internet Explorer® Favorites from either your main computer
or guest computer(s).
• Changes to browser cookies, history, and home page settings
on your main computer or guest computer(s).

Figure 13. Click Synchronize to update your files.

Chapter 3 - Synchronization Options

What is in this Chapter?

This chapter describes the different options you can select for synchronization.

The Synchronize window


As shown in (Figure 16 below), the Synchronize window is Migo’s main window. It is
divided into the following areas:
• Synchronize: Where you control the synchronization process.
• Migo Meter: Lets you review how much storage space is used, how much
data is selected for synchronizing, and how much is available,
• Synchronize List: Where you can review the list of files that have been
selected for synchronization, as well as all of the changes detected by Migo
since the last synchronization.

Figure 16. Migo’s main Synchronize window.

The “Desktop Files changed in the last 30 days” and the “Outlook Inbox items from the
last 30 days” refer to the age of the files and e-mails you want to carry with you. The
default is 30 days, but this can be changed to a number of your preference. E-mail files
and folders older than the set number of days will not be synchronized.

20
Synchronize area
The Synchronize area is where you specify which items are to be synchronized:

• Desktop Files changed in the last __ days: Select this checkbox if you want
Migo to synchronize the files sitting on your desktop. The files chosen for
synchronization are those whose modification dates fall within the number of
days you set in the day’s field.
• Outlook® Inbox Items from the last __ days: Select this checkbox if you
want Migo to synchronize items from your Outlook® inbox, up to the number
of days you set in the number field.
• Internet Explorer® Favorites, Cookies, History, Home Page: Select this
checkbox if you want Migo to copy your Microsoft Internet Explorer®
Favorites, cookies, history, and home page settings for use on a guest
computer.
• More Options: Click this button to open the Synchronize Options window.

Migo Meter area


The Migo Meter area displays storage space information and lists the files and Outlook®
items that have been selected for synchronization. Depending on the number of files that
need to be synchronized, (e.g., thousands of files and e-mails added) Migo Meter may
take a while to complete its space calculations.

The Migo Meter itself displays storage information both graphically and numerically:
• Used: Indicates the amount of data currently stored on your DataTraveler II
Plus Migo.
• Selected: Indicates the amount of storage space that is required to
synchronize the list of currently selected files.
• Capacity: Indicates your DataTraveler II Plus Migo’s total capacity.

21
Synchronize list
The Synchronize List is a directory of files selected for synchronization. Each row
provides the name, folder, and size of each item to be synchronized, along with the other
optional information.

+: Indicates files that will be copied from your DataTraveler II Plus Migo to your
computer.

x: Indicates files that will be removed from your DataTraveler II Plus Migo.

**: Indicates a file that has been updated on both your DataTraveler II Plus Migo
and on your computer. In a situation where both the Migo’s file and the
computer’s file have been changed, Migo will create two versions of the file so
that all changes are preserved.

->: Indicates that an Outlook® item has been moved from one folder to another
on your DataTraveler II Plus Migo.

<-: Indicates that an Outlook® item has been moved from one folder to another
on the main computer.

Files without a symbol mean that they will be copied to your DataTraveler II Plus Migo.
They may have been synchronized previously and updated on the main computer.

22
Setting General Options

How to set General Options


To change Migo’s general options, follow these steps:
1. In the main Synchronize window, click on the More Options button.
2. When the Options window appears, click on the General tab.

• Remove: Click this button to delete the computer profile that is selected in the
Synchronized Computers drop-down list. Removing a computer can be a very
effective space-saving technique. If you are running out of space and you are
confident that you have made no changes to any items since your last
synchronization, you can free up space by deleting the computer. Once you
have finished your work and freed up additional space, you can always
synchronize to re-load the files and Outlook® items back onto your
DataTraveler II Plus Migo.

Warning!!! When a computer profile is removed, all of your data associated with that
profile is also removed from your DataTraveler II Plus Migo, including any changed
files. Before removing a computer profile, verify that your DataTraveler II Plus Migo
has been synchronized to the main computer so that no data is lost.

• Set Nickname: Click this button to open the Set Computer Nickname dialog
box, which changes the nickname for the computer profile selected in the
Synchronized Computers drop-down list.

computer and later try to synchronize, these files will be recognized as
conflicts. The selections below will determine the end result of these files.
Warning !!! The Migo software will not display a warning about file conflicts. Please be
sure to set these options prior to synchronization!
• Resolve in favor of PC: If selected, the Outlook item(s) on the
DataTraveler II Plus Migo will be synchronized to match the Outlook
item(s) on the computer.
• Resolve in favor of device: If selected, the Outlook item(s) on the computer
will be synchronized to match the Outlook item(s) on the DataTraveler II
Plus Migo.
• Do not resolve conflict: No synchronization will take place.

Chapter 4 - Windows 2000® Instructions
What’s in this Chapter?
This chapter provides some additional instructions required to safely remove your
DataTraveler II Plus Migo from the Microsoft Windows 2000® computers.

Instructions for Windows 2000®


Removing Your DataTraveler II Plus Migo from Your Guest Computer
If your computer is running any version of Microsoft Windows 2000®, you will need to
use Microsoft’s® Unplug or Eject Hardware utility before removing your
DataTraveler II Plus Migo from the computer.

Follow the instructions listed below each time you want to remove your DataTraveler II

Chapter 6- Glossary
DataTraveler II Plus Migo: The portable, key-sized USB device that you use to store
your information.

Guest Computer: A guest computer is a system that you would temporarily use to
access important data originally stored on your main computer.

Login Mode: One of two modes available when logging into Migo. Login Mode is used
when you want to work on your files directly from your DataTraveler II Plus Migo
without copying the files to the hard drive of the guest computer. In this mode, the guest
computer will be personalized with your profile although all your files stay on your
DataTraveler II Plus Migo. Nothing is copied to the computer. Also see Synchronize
Mode.

Main Computer: This is your primary computer where you would most commonly save
data files and e-mail.

Migo Meter: Displayed in Migo’s main Synchronize window. It automatically calculates


and displays storage space information and lists the files and Outlook® items that have
been selected for synchronization. Depending on the number of files that need to be
synchronized, (e.g., thousands of files and e-mails added) the Migo Meter may take a
while to complete its space calculations.

Migo software: Migo is the name of the intelligent synchronization software that is
included on your DataTraveler II Plus Migo.

Personalize: The process of temporarily changing a guest computer’s look and feel. Its
wallpaper, desktop files, Outlook® content, and Internet Explorer settings will match
those on your main computer. Migo automatically personalizes your environment each
time you log into a guest computer, making it appear as your own.

Pulldown Tab: When logged into Migo, the guest computer will display a little Migo
tab at the very top-center of your computer screen. Clicking on this pulldown tab expands
the tab to display the nickname and wallpaper of each computer profile. You can then
select the appropriate computer whose data you want to access from your DataTraveler II
Plus Migo.

35
Synchronization: The process of updating copies of the same files that reside on both
your DataTraveler II Plus Migo and on your main computer so that the most recent
version is maintained on both systems. Migo automatically scans your system to
determine which Outlook® items and files need to be synchronized.

Synchronize Mode: One of two modes available when logging into Migo. Synchronize
Mode is used with your main computer or on a frequently used system. In this mode you
would regularly synchronize data, e-mail, and other files with your main computer. Migo
also manages synchronization of all specified files, folders, and Outlook® items so that
both your DataTraveler II Plus Migo and the main computer always have the latest
version of each item. Also see Login Mode.
