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 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 computers look and feel by personalizing the
wallpaper, desktop files, and items/settings from Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, Mozilla
Firefox, and Internet Explorer, so it matches those on your main computer. Migo personalizes your
environment each time you login to Migo on a guest computer, making it appear as your own.

Page 4 of 34
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 carrying a laptop, external CD-ROM drive, CDs, floppies and other storage
devices.

Access your e-mail from a guest computer

While using your DataTraveler on a guest computer you can access, send, and receive new e-mail. As
opposed to Web-based e-mail, you will store all of your e-mail onto the DataTraveler drive so you can
work on your Outlook Express and/ or Mozilla Thunderbird correspondence, even if you are not
connected to the Internet. When you return to your main computer, all e-mail changes are synchronized
with your main computers copy of Outlook Express and/ or Mozilla Thunderbird.

Note: In order to access your e-mail items, the e-mail client must be installed on the computer.

Use Migo on different versions of Microsoft Windows

Migo lets you work between different versions of Microsoft Windows. It also allows you edit your files
and e-mail items on any computer that has the required applications installed.

Page 5 of 34
Use your Internet Explorer or Firefox settings on any computer

Migo gives you ease of use and security by including the following Internet settings from your main
computer:

Internet Explorer Favorites and/ or Firefox Bookmarks: Migo automatically copies all of
your Favorites or Bookmarks. Once you plug your DataTraveler into a guest computer and
launch Migo, your Favorites appear when you use Internet Explorer, and your Bookmarks
will appear when you use Firefox.

Cookies: Migo will copy your browser cookies and use them when you are logged into a Migo
profile on a guest computer. Web sites store passwords and user information in your cookies
so you can have the convenience of accessing your accounts. In addition, browsing with your
DataTraveler is more secure than using a guest computer by itself.

History: Migo captures your recent browser activity so you can easily return to URLs visited in
the past. Migos leave no data functionality ensures all records of visited Web sites stay on
your DataTraveler and not on the guest computer.

Home Page: Migo records your Internet home page. When you click the Home button you will
be taken to your own home page.

Page 6 of 34
Maintain privacy by leaving no data

Migo not only gives you portability, but assures the privacy of your data. With Migos 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 two popular areas:

Web Sites: As previously described, Migo lets you incorporate select Internet Explorer and
Firefox settings so you can use your Favorites or Bookmarks to navigate through sites you
would access on a regular basis. When you are done with your work, all records of your use;
cookies, history, etc., are cleared off of the guest computer once you logout of Migo.

Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint: When you synchronize Microsoft Office files
with Migo, you can edit these documents and create additional files on any guest computer
that has Microsoft Office installed.

Chapter 2 - Getting Up And Running With Migo
Whats in this Chapter?
This chapter will guide you through the initial setup of your 1st Migo profile.

Summary of steps
Working with Migo can be divided into these main steps.

Insert the DataTraveler into your main computers USB port.


Use Migo software to capture your main computers data and settings.
When you want to use your files and settings on another computer, take DataTraveler to a guest
computer and insert it into a USB port.
Login to your main computers profile on your DataTraveler.
Once you are done with your work, return the DataTraveler to your main computer and let Migo
synchronize and update the files in your main computer with the changes made to the files while
logged into the Migo profile.

The rest of this chapter describes each of these steps in detail. For additional help, visit Kingston on-line

files as conflicts. The options below (Figure 28) will determine how Migo will resolve this
conflict.
Caution: The Migo software will not display a warning about file conflicts. Please be sure to set these
options prior to synchronization!

Figure 28: Conflict Resolution (Outlook Express)

Resolve in favor of PC: If selected, the Outlook Express item(s) on the DataTraveler will be
synchronized to match the Outlook Express item(s) on the computer.
Resolve in favor of device: If selected, the Outlook Express item(s) on the computer will be
synchronized to match the Outlook Express item(s) on the DataTraveler.
Do not resolve conflict: No synchronization will take place. However, if you make changes
to a single-item on both the host and the Migo drive; Migo will create duplicates of this item
during the next synchronization as if they were two separate entities (Default).

Chapter 7 - Glossary
DataTraveler Mini - Migo Edition: 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 to access your
main computers profile on a guest computer. In this mode, the guest computer will be personalized with
your profile although all your files stay on your DataTraveler. 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 Migos main Synchronize window. It automatically calculates and displays
storage space information and lists the files, Outlook Express, and Thunderbird 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 synchronization software included on your DataTraveler.

Personalize: The process of temporarily changing a guest computers look and feel. Its wallpaper, desktop
files, e-mail content, and Internet 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: During Migo login, the guest computer will display a Migo tab at the very top-center of
your computer desktop. 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 containing the data you
want to access from your DataTraveler.

Synchronization: The process of updating copies of the same files that reside on both the DataTraveler
and your main computer so that the most recent version is maintained in both locations.
