I looked an I don't have a link to that utility from Microsoft.  I assumed it was much like the one XDA-Developers has for customization. They have an exe that runs in a hidden extended ROM folder much like the iPAQ File Store, and will install cab files to the device on a hard reset. It is generally used to set up phone customization, but will install cab files.

WOW! That has NOT been my experience at all. Could it be there are ROM differences float around? My device will actually lock while I'm still "using" the GPS or MortPlayer - - i.e., while the device is still ON! So, of course, after the allotted time, it will also prompt me for a password when I turn the device on after the time expires.
HOWEVER,
I do not use a PIN; I use a strong Alphanumeric password. You don't suppose that makes a difference?
