Hi all
Does anyone know how i can disable or hide the 'Lock' icon in the 'Settings' program group??
We are rolling out a large number of Qtek9100 in our workplace and have a requirement to set a password on the devices and then disable the 'Lock' icon so that users cannot turn off password.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Why not incorporate a dummy password protect control panel, using redirect?
Check out the MSN tutorial/SDK.

Dummy Password Protect Control Panel
Hi
Thanks for the prompt reply.
Could you give me a bit more advice about a dummy password protect control panel with redirect please.
What is the url for msn tutorial/sdk??
Thanks again
if you download tweaks2k2 it will let you disable the password panel in settings to prevent your users changing the password or it can be done in the registry manually if you have the time.

Hi Rob61280
Thanks for the advice
Do you perchance know the registry setting that i would need to change to hide/disable 'lock' icon.
I think if i installed tweaks2k2 then users could use it to change the settings.

I think you can unistall tweaks2k2 and the settings stay as you set them.
I'll have a look at the registry and see if there is an easy way to redirect the password applet so it doesnt function (there was a contrast applet you could enable using a similar method).
Rob
I've still not found a redirect (it may not be possible through the registry alone but i will keep looking)
there is however a useful function :-
"Enable policy restrictions (Pocket PC 2002)
Pocket PC 2002 devices includes a system policy system to prevent users from downloading and installing new programs via Pocket Internet Explorer, Inbox, File Explorer, ActiveSync or beaming between devices or renaming files.
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\AdminPassword\
Rename the "Redirect" value to "xRedirect"
Soft reset and go to Start > Settings > System tab > Policy applet to set the policy restriction on the device."
from http://palmare.idnes.cz/PocketPC_WinCE/WinCE_Utility/tweaks020913.html
This works on wm5 as well
Rob
Redirect will not work
I Browsed to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\
then renamed password to xpassword
then softreset
this disabled the original lock applet
but
another is created in the system tab
anyone any idea how to prevent the applet from being recreated using the registry?

Hi Rob61280
Many thanks for all the work you have put in.
I will try the tweaks2k2 tool and see if i can hide/disable lock icon and then uninstall tweaks2k2 and see if settings hold.
And I thought PDA's were just for a bit of fun :lol: :lol:

Just sitting in a restaurant, no wifi, not connected in anyway to anywhere.. and the Activesync shows up ?!?!? Writing the correct last time I synced my device (which was this morning at home). WTF is this?
go to activesync app on the ppc
create a server source
enter a totally fictitious name and address
follow the wizard, dont select any items to sync
set the period to sync as manual for both
finish the wizard
open the options
delete the new server source
the default setting is to auto start and sync, by creating the fictitious entry it allows you to change those settings
deleting the server source retains the sync period settings

Simon,
I have done this numerous times when I had the O2 ROM. Now I have the IMate ROM, it works if I am not connected to anything, so that is good, for that is what I want. One thing I notice when I am connected through WIFI, active sync application on my Exec still opens up on the background. Are you having the same experiences with this setup or am I missing a setting here?
my active sync doesnt auto start AS at all anymore if i set the server source to sync manually, then delete the server source.
i use wifi a lot and it also doesnt start it.
there could be other reasons such as programs you have that auto update from the web when wifi is running, eg SPB weather. again, i set this to update manually.
what other programs do you have that require or use an AS or WIFI connection?

I think you are right. I forgot about Pocket Weather's update settings. Thanks.
I upgraded from NAV 2003 to NAV 2006 and am unable to get activesync 4.1 to work. I get the error code 85010014.
Symantec has been no help. I disable autoprotect and zone alarm and still not sync.
Has anyone been able to get Norton antivirus and activesync 4.1 to work together.
Yes, I have tried search and I do not see a solution unique to NAV 2006

Try disconnecting the device and restarting the pc. Only connect your device to the pc after you've logged on. That should work, as I ran into a similar problem on my work computer. Good luck.
JB
The best Solution: Don't use Norton or any other Symantec Product, it's trash and trashes your PC... Try the best: Kaspersky
I tried deleting partnerships, disabling nav and zone alarm, restarting computer but i still get the 85010014 error.
Norton worked before i upgraded.
Any more suggestions.

I used to get the problem in TuMa 1.4 (Blueangel rom). Flashed back to 1.3 and it seems to work properly.
Try flashing another rom, what device are you using?

Well, here's the actual description of your error
0x85010014
ActiveSync encountered a problem on the server.
Exchange Server reported an internal error. This condition is generally temporary. Try to sync again later. However, if the problem persists, you may need to contact an administrator.

I had similar problems with Macfee AV. I got a solution from some great person on this forum that the native win xp sp2 firewall gets messed up with the AV software and just prevents the sync even if you have Activesync in your exceptions list. I tried disabling the windows xp firewall and to my surprise the sync worked perfectly fine.
Not a good solution, but worth giving it a try. I will try to get somemore details on what can be done about this soon.

This is what finally worked for me. It comes from another forum.
Although Norton denied that NAV 2006 had a script blocker, it was in my registry. How it got there, i don't know. Activesync worked for me with NAV 2003.
The following from a MS Forum fixed it for me: -
ActiveSync is failing to open the Outlook Object Model. There are typically
two common failures here. The first one is if the MAPI.dll was replaced by
an install of another application. The second is a virus blocking program.
Some Anit-Virus software doesn’t properly clean it’s self after uninstall,
to manually fix this up, please follow the following steps.
a. On the desktop, click Start->Run
b. In the “Run” dialog, type “regedit”
c. This will launch the Windows Registry Editor
d. In the Treeview in the left pane, navigate to the following
registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
i. Once you’ve opened the CLSID
note if you type “{0006F03A” it should take you to the right entry
e. Expand the GUID node
f. Click on “InprocServer32″ under the GUID node
g. You will see a value set in the “Data” field of the “(Default)”
h. This value should guide you to what application has installed the
script blocking. For example, Norton AntiVirus puts in an entry like this:
“C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Symantec Shared\\Script
Blocking\\ScrBlock.dll”
i. If the AntiVirus program in question is still
installed, disable Script blocking in that software
j. If the AntiVirus program in question is *not* installed, or the
user cannot figure out how to disable script blocking, delete the entry
i.
Right-click the “(Default)” value name in the right-hand pane
ii. Select
“Delete” from the context menu
iii. This
should leave you with a value “(Default)” where the “Data” is set to “(value
not set)”
k. Press the “Sync” button on the ActiveSync app on the desktop and
it should work now
*Note: I don’t take any responsiblity for you editing your Registry. Take relevant backups etc etc as normal!
Here is the link for the above fix and some other options.

Hello,
I have to deploy around 100 tytn's to users with support for japanese and total commander. I managed to get the softwares installed in 1 cab, but now I'm looking for a way to configure the devices with settings like GPRS, proxy server, Owner information, change HTC Today screen to the normal WM5 one.
I configured one tytn with all correct settings, exported the registry keys which were changed, combined them in a cab but it doesn't work. Not even when exporting each key to one cab.
For example, I set in the Owner information the address, the end of the email, a general phone number, export the reg keys in HKCU\ControlPanel\Owner, create a cab. When I import the cab on another pda all goes fine, everyhting is ok in the registry but not on the today screen. All the settings are empty there. With all other settings like gprs it seems to be the same, it seems that the today screen needs a refresh but even a soft reset doesn't solve it.
Does anyone has some experience with this or with deploying large amounts of smartphones?
Thank you for your help
David

I could do with a bit of help. I need to disable the address bar within internet explorer. I am hopping someone can tell me if there is a registry change that will disable the address bar. Any reg edits that can alter the behaviour of IE would be useful. I have tried searching this forum and allot of the web. The device is a HP 2790b running WM5. Thanks in advance.
what is wrong with the full screen option in the ie menu?
Does anyone know how to remove IE permanently?
My children play a lot with my phone and I don’t want them to have internet access. On the contrary I still want to receive email through GPRS
i would be happy if any one can help
you can remove the shortcuts but not the files themselfs as it's inside the rom
How can you remove the shortcuts?
Or is there any piece of software that can disable it?
\windows\start menu\
there you will find both the start menu and programs
you cant disable gprs for only some programs unless you use the 3th party firewall app
as which program init the connection is transparent for the device

can i Disable it complletly?
you can try to rename the exe file the shortcut points to in windows\ but it could cause the pda to crash if files associated with it are launched
or you could just disable gprs when you are not using it
Try using the NoData cab. Just install it and it will create a shortcut icon. When you want your internet diabled click on the icon. This will prevent the kids from using Internet. Then when you need internet, just click the shortcut again,,, and your access will be restored.
