Locking software

07-10-06, 04:17 PM

Hi

I have a Pocket PC running WM 2003. Theres no way i can lock the display or buttons on it, and its a real problem if its in my pocket.

So i was thinking is there any software out there that can lock the screen and/or buttons. Say it is locked while its on standby maybe you could assings some buttons and press a combination that then locks up the device.

I know this isnt a problem for x51 devices, but for older devices with no build-in lock software it is.

Anyone know of software that can do this?

The in advance.

Well, you could switch the lock switch on the side.......

Or, if you really want software, check out PocketSecure. Thats what I use, works great.

While a lock will help, nothing beats a hard case for solving this problem.

When active the screen is black and all the buttons are inactive except the power button, which is used to 're-gain' your axim :approve:

Yes, I read your post. Its not what you asked for, but it would work. Your problem is that its hitting stuff in your pocket right? Well, the lock switch would certainly prevent that....

What I think he is trying to say is, he has an older device that does not have a lock switch. Thus the need for software.

His x30 would not have a locking switch since this feature was new to the x50 series.

Just curious as to what others see as the advantages are to this over the standard WM lock software?

How about adding a password?

I have a password, with zero set as the timeout, so my X50V locks as soon as I press the power button or tap on a power off icon.

I read the doc on the PocketSecure website, just wondering if anyone had any opinions as to whether PocketSecure really added any function or additional security.

Pocket Secure has many functions, with most based on user requests! It provides a high level of security for just about any device!

Ver.4.0 is about to start beta testing, and will have additional features unlike any other, and an added level of security will also be introduced!

Release will be in a few weeks, and free updates to all current users!

DL a trial, and give it a shot....! :)
