Disabling Features

dbaltz · 08-04-04, 02:45 PM

We have a client who needs several features in the iPAQ 2210 disabled for security reasons. They want all network capability (except USB ActiveSync) completely disabled--including irD--as well as voice recording and support for memory cards. They want the capability completely eliminated--not just disabled in software.

Can we simply delete the appropriate DLLs and modify the registry or do we need to create a custom WinCE build? What happens if the end-user does a ROM upgrade?

Why in the world did they get 2215s if they want to disable all that? It's like buying a Porsche and taking the wheels off it.

Oh, BTW...if they create their own ROM and install it, all warranties are voided.
