Pocket Internet Explorer

Hi.
I was wondering if anyone could help on this one. I need to identify the registry keys on an XDA IIi to allow me to remove certain toolbars/options within the pocket internet explorer. E.g Address bar etc.. Home icon etc. This is so that i can stop users from accessing other sites on the net and stay locked into a website on the XDA. Any ideas?

Disable/Hide 'Lock' icon on Qtek 9100

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:

Crossbow - Remote Desktop Mobile

Finally Microsoft have got their act together and provided a pretty good RDP client.
Crossbow's client is much better than previous versions offering friendly full screen support with which it is simple to toggle betweet RDP Mobile and other applcations.
(On a Full screen RDP session just press the Ok button to be presented with a Yes/No box offering to disconnect, selecting NO will leave the session intact and just , move it to the background without needing to logon again.)
Also from a fullscreen session just hit either of the buttons mapped to the softkeys to toggle back to windowed mode (Start bar visible).
Encrytion has been improved as RDP mobile nolonger requires the connection to be downgraded to Client Compatible.
I'm not forgetting the other documented features such as a coice of 256 Colours or High Colour (16 bit) and the ability to map audi from the server to the PPC.
Considering VJ's excellent VJFSTSC app was usually one of the first things to be installed after a rom upgrade I'm glad Microsoft have made their client not just usable but they have provided a long overdue (No change between 2003 & WM5) overhaul.
Taking things a little further I was surprised that Nyditot's Virtual Display works on Crossbow and the RDP client will allow a 800x600 screen (probably any res you choose) provided that the Fit to screen option is used.

Taz, I was slow to update VJFSTSC because I 'had a feeling' about remote desktop.. I don't know if there's any point continuing with my app, but I can think of some improvements to the new client, so maybe I can move in a different direction.
Many thanks for the review though. How do you find performance?

Try to get remote [email protected] 16 colors.

And now for a couple of pprblems with the new RDP Client
Hopefully these will be addressed by Microsoft before Crossbow/WM6 is officially released.
1. Remote Desktop Mobile will nolonger initiate a VPN through the Exceptions list within the Connections' settings. If you need to connect through a VPN you now need to connect to a VPN manually before connecting through Remote Desktop Mobile.
2. The auto fill for the Computer you wish to connect to can be a little awkward.
Once a few computers have been added, trying to connect to an additional computer with a similar name/IP to one already cached can result in RDM automattically filling in the details of a prev entered computer.
Trying to delete part of the pre-empted details results in the whole field being emptied but as you start to type the computer details again the autofill adds a previously entered computer again. The workaround is to enter the new computer name in one of the other fields and cut/paste it into the 'Computer' field.
VJ if you are considering a VJRDM application here are a few suggestions.
1. Maintain a list of computers & credential within your own application so that selecting which computer you wish to connect to will automatically launch RDM and connect to the required computer.
2. Include an option to automattically choose the Internet/Work connection and if your own database of details is maintained, allow these settings to be saved alongside the Username,Password, Domain and other settings.
3. The ability to program a WM device's hardware keys for CTRL, Esc, Alt and other Windows functions whilst using RDM without needing to reprogram these keys at the device level would be excellent
(ie launch VJRDM and the E-mail key becomes CTRL, Home becomes ALT but only whilst VJRDM is active. Whilst using other applications these keys retain their original function.)
4. Finally an option to temp disable push e-mail whilst connecting over a VPN would be handy as it would save activesync closing the VPN connection eveytime it tries to connect and shutting down the VPN.
Even with the above couple of problems DRM is far better than the terminal service client.
Does anyone know of a small application to launch a VPN without having to wade through the Connections' settings?
onlineemails I was about to suggest setting the colour depth on the server but it appears that XP and 2003 have a min depth of 8 bit (256 colours)

Hi all, is it possible to copy all the files from WM6 RDM on to a WM5 Universal, therefore being able to use the more advanced RDM on WM5?, as RDM is the ony reason i would upgrade to WM6.
Thanks

Does anyone know the file names for Remote Desktop in Crossbow?

Hi,
I am looking for a better Remote Desktop client for WM5 on my HTC Hermes.
With screen resolution setting...
Unfortunately I couldn't find anything useful.
Maybe I could use the new client from WM6.
How can I find it ?
Can anyone who has WM6, send it to me please?
Or maybe you can suggesta good client for WM5 ?
Thanks

can remote desktop be used when the universal is not connected to a home network, but through the internet with gprs/umts??
i havent got logmein working with crossbow yet :S

logmein works for me. I'm using Midgets vanilla rom at the mo.

stupid me... it does work with IE, just not with opera :$

can I use higher res than 640*480? my school's term server is requesting a minimum resolution of 800*600...

is there anyway to get wm6 remote dsektop in wm5?

i had my brother forward port 3389 from the network server to my pc and now the remote desktop works perfect with the gprs/umts connection
way better then LogMeIn
