This isn't a design related post, but it's something that's bothered me for long enough, so I figured I'd post this. If you're one of the unfortunate few that are stuck using Windows Mobile (okay, okay, it has its strengths, but it frustrates the hell out of me), you've undoubtedly created files using the Notes program. The Notes program saves its files as PWI (InkWriter/Note Taker/Pocket Word Document). For the life of me, I couldn't find a program to convert or view these files on my PC. I just copy everything over when I'm upgrading my OS, doing a hard reset, or upgrading my phone. So I've been sitting here with years old PWI files on this computer. One of them had the list of video games I lent my nephew, and I'm determined to get them back.
After a few days of searching, I came across the answer here:

I've had the right program already installed the entire time. If you open the Notes panel in Outlook, chances are all of your PWI files on your computer are already sitting in there, waiting to be read. I can confirm that I was able to see all of my notes, along with my hand drawn notes as well.
