Hi Miker

There are a number of utilities & some threads around this site...but one utility you can use is shutdown xp

Hope this helps

Most taskbar utilities will give you one or more ways to shutdown your Ax.

If your looking for something
simpler and faster then Shutdown XP
You can use
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/poweroff.shtml
which simply turns it off, w/o giving you any options
like restart... all it does is turn off your unit

More great reviews!

   

I use HandyMenu
with more features not just the power-off

 

Hey that's cool (cheap but not free...but cool) might just give it a whirl myself

I use poweroff, got it from freewareppc.com simple and effective

Like I said...there are quite a few utilities out there hehe!

I just got handymenu...it's great...although paying for it took longer than installing it...seems pretty customizable which is cool

I haven't been using it for a long time
but since I got I'm very happy with it
I like the customization feature too (as you said it very customizable)
and it doesn't take alot of memory too

I too, have been using shutdown XP and love it. So easy to do a soft reset. Added a link to it on my today page using tdlaunch.

Advanced/PXA255(2k3 upg)
SD: 256Mb(Lexar) CF: 256Mb 12x(Lexar), 256Mb(Simpletech), 256Mb(Kingston)
DLink DCF-660W Wifi / DLink Wireless Router(DI-764)
Bibles for America(FREE)

I have shutdown XP too
but It's slow (I thin that's because it takes a screen capture and grays it out)
or maybe because I have the basic Axim (300MHz)

I didn't get what you mean by "but of course, I still have 40 MB of main memory free."
I have HandyMenu installed on the compact flash ~90KB, and I loked at the main memory in my device (when it's running and when it's not) and the differnce is only 0.10 MB (100KB)
so I don't know aout this "40MB" you are talking about

Am I missing something ?

 

How long have you had Handy Menu?

Stable?
