Mobility Site - View Single Post - WM6 Password will auto-return to today screen at power-on

There are several posts on different sites about WM6 Password return to today screen power-on, wake up, or after sleep mode. The problem is as follows: If password protection is enabled then the PDA will automatically return to today screen on each power-on, wake up, or after sleep mode. What ever program you were last working on is automatically minimized into the background. This only happens when Password is enabled. It does not have anything to do with the time out feature on the today screen and it is not an issue caused by conflicting programs. If you are not using the password feature you will not experience this problem. If you are not using WM6 you will not have this problem. It is only a WM6 issue. The only way I have found to stop the problem is to disable the password protection.

Does any one know of registry keys or files that are associated with password protection that can be tweaked to change this "feature"?

What I have tried so far, changing the time out feature on the today screen. In general, all sites mention trying changing this or unchecking the box. It does nothing regarding this problem. I have tried add on programs like BatteryStatusExt.1.04.build_0247.CAB, and psshutxp_eng.vga.xscale.cab, because they have a revert to today screen option and they do not make a difference either. The consensus I have seen on all the posts I have read is that this is a WM6 bug or feature.
