Default Application's Doing Hard Resets

As I said, a hard reset every six months, while not good, would hardly lead me to call a Pocket PC "no use at all". I've heard of users who do hard resets intentionally just to "clean up" their Pocket PCs.

While it certainly is horribly inconvenient, with a current backup, it shouldn't be that bad.

Nope, applications can do hard resets. Check out Philippe Majerus' Task Manager, which is one application that claims it can hard reset your Pocket PC. I say "claims" because I haven't tried it, but you're welcome to let us know if it works. :-D
