   As always, you're missing something. At this point, the superficial   
   nature of your investigations is a given   
      
   1. The transfer is BOTH ways if you have a Windows folder shared with   
   read/write permissions.   
      
   2. You never even SEE the iPhone drive in Windows Explorer (if you use   
   capital letters, that indicates a proper name, and the file manager for   
   Windows is called "Explorer")   
      
   It works. Perfectly.
