Hi StratosDog,
I am interested in sounding like you have been able to connect a ws-1001 via USB to Windows 10, and see the files on the device if I have correctly understood your post. I have not been able to see the files once connected via USB to Windows 10, although it does work to Windows 7.
I have been assuming it is to do the ws-1001 being windows CE, and from googling it sounds like connect the Win CE device (ie WS-1001) you need "Windows Mobile Device Center" which I found some information that support for this has been depreciated in Win 10?? I think there might be some people who have worked around this for other devices (eg
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32052429/how-to-connect-a-windows-mobile-pda-to-windows-10), which I have not yet tried. But I am curious to understand if you needed to do anything special to see the files when connected to USB?
I have seen a post which might suggest that it might be accessible via Sync Center, but I have had a look at that, and no idea how to make that work. See

But I also can't find the device in device manager, and not sure what it should be named or what category it should show up as. I do get a new device called "microsoft" under "Unspecified" category in "Devices and Printers". If I double click on it, it shows the Hardware as "Microsoft USB Sync" and type "Mobile Devices". But I can't see anywhere where this is mounted int he files system that I can browse?? I am guessing this is what I need "Windows Mobile Device Center" for or am I missing something.
Cheers Matthew
