A free app to edit the registry manually, is Total Commander (http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm). To save you some confusion, to get to the registry, click on \ and then \\.

Not sure how a softbutton would work when the app's interface is just a few rows pixels on the top and bottom of the screen. Psshutxp is a free app that allows you to turn off the display, turn off the device, or do a softreset. It can put a icon on the lower-right corner of the today screen for you to access it. (http://ppcsoft.narod.ru/english/). Another alternative is Magicbutton, a task manager that shows an icon in titlebar. If you hold the stylus on the icon, it will show a menu with an option to reset the device. (http://www.trancreative.com/mb.aspx). But usually when I need to do a reset, the machine is too frozen up for me to click to anything.
