Is There An App To Change PPC IE5 to IE6?

Looking for a program that will change pie 5 to pie 6 on my pda? Also, is the new WM2005 going to have that capability?

Thank you for your kind assistance.

You can use a freeware program to hack your registry so that PIE is identified as IE6. Give ctitanic's Tweaks2k2.NET lite version.

I suspect you are referring to forcing PIE to pass for IE6. Yes, there are ways. The only way I know for sure is via Tweaks2K2.

EDIT: DP beat me to the punch! :)

Newbie here.
What does that actually accomplish? Will Yahoo no longer think I am using IE4 or what? :rolling:

That is correct. Although it won't help with things like Java applets and such it will get you onto the page.

Pocket Internet Explorer pretend to be Internet Explorer 5.5 running on Windows 2000.
Many web sites that require encryption do not verify if your browser support high encryption, they just check the browser version.
This registry hack will make Pocket Internet Explorer identifies itself as Internet Explorer 5.5 running on Windows 2000, this may let you connect to web site that check the browser version, but it will also prevent web sites that provide Pocket PC specific content to be able to know you're actually using a Pocket PC.

Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\
Change the default value from "Mozilla/2.0" to "Mozilla/4.0".
Change the "Version" value from "MSIE 3.02" to "MSIE 5.5".
Change the "Platform" value from "Windows CE" to "Windows NT 5.0".
Some web sites may even just compare the user agent string, so if this is not enough, browse to the Post Platform\ sub key and delete the "240x320" value (it have no data).
