 When play video or audio file, you can use "sgmixer" to adjust audio volume. Click the last icon "sgmixer" in bottom toolbar or click "popup menu"->"Applications"->"sgmixer" to call it.
+===== Exit MobileMate options =====
+Exit MobileMate, click the first icon "Exit" in bottom toolbar or click "popup menu"->"Logout". There are three radio buttons you can select are: Shutdown, Reboot and "Exit to Prompt". When you modify the the screen resolution with "Xvesa" tool in "ControlPanel", you can select "Exit to Prompt", then type "startx" command after prompt to start desktop and make your modification to take effect.
+When you have set a "backup device"(there is text such as "sda1/tce" under the Bakcup Options drop-down menu, if you use the [[installing|installation method]] described in our wiki to install MobileMate into USB or virtual machine, the "backup device" will be set ok), you can click one of the drop-down menu item of "Backup Options": None, Backup and Safe.
+The default option is "Backup", if you have changed the content of files listed in "/opt/.filetool.lst" and not in "/opt/.xfiletool.lst", you need this option to make your changes persistent. But, before this, you also need save the file content after you changed the content of file. For example, if you use "sudo editor /opt/bootlocal.sh" command to edit this file, you must save file when you close editor and choice "Backup" option when you exit MobileMate, otherwise, the file "/opt/bootlocal.sh" will lost its change when restart MobileMate. Of course, you can also use "filetool.sh -b" command after you save the edited file to make this file persistent.
+The bakcup file is located in "YOUR TCE DIRECTORY(e.g., /mnt/sda1/tce)/mydata.tgz".
+If you choice "Safe" option, it will backup your old "mydata.tgz" file into "mydatabk.tgz", then backup your current files need backup into new "mydata.tgz".
+In most case, if you don't need backup any files in "/opt/.filetool.lst", choice "None" in "Backup Options" drop-down menu, this will skip backup process and speedup the MobileMate to shutdown or reboot. You can also use command "sudo poweroff" to shutdown MobileMate without backup and "sudo reboot" to reboot it without backup, you can perform these commands in terminal or in "Run Program" tool, for the detail of this way see: [[http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:shutdown|Shutdown and Restart]] of TinyCore Linux Wiki.
 ===== Tips =====
-==== MobileMate VirtualBox virtual machine ====
-You can customize VirtualBox virtual machine shared folder auto-mount behavior. The way is modify the line(without double quotation marks, the same below)<code>"/opt/custom/bin/amountvboxshare.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 &"</code> in file "/opt/bootlocal.sh". For example, you need poll the shared folders in host, mount the shared folder(in spite of selection of "Auto-mount) added newly whenever, excute the command <code>"sudo editor /opt/bootlocal.sh"</code> in the console or "Run Program" tool, replace the line with <code>"/opt/custom/bin/amountvboxshare.sh allalways >/dev/null 2>&1 &"</code> in the "/opt/bootlocal.sh". Save the file and excute the command "filetool.sh -b" for "opt/bootlocal.sh" persistence. Of course, you can also excute in the console or "Run Program" tool, e.g., <code>"sudo /opt/custom/bin/amountvboxshare.sh allonce"</code>.

+==== Switch between MobileMate virtual machine host and guest ====
+Because MobileMate VMWare/VirtualBox virtual machine only fully integrate the folder sharing part of guest additions. So, you need switch between the host and guest manually.
+When you click on the guest, the guest will capture the mouse and keyboard. If you want return into host, press "Ctrl+Alt" in VMWare and press right "Ctrl" in VirtualBox.
+Please note, the mouse integration(switch between host and guest automatically) works partly in MobileMate VirtualBox virtual machine. But, it behaves abnormally sometimes. So, the best way is "Disable Mouse Integration" in menu "Machine", then switch between host and guest manually.
