Default psShutXP: Graphical Shutdown Utility For Pocket PCs

http://ppcsoft.narod.ru/english/

"With psShutXP for Pocket PCs you can easily control power and display of your PDA. Unlike other similar utilities psShutXP covers all power functions:
  • Soft Reset;
  • Shutdown;
  • Display switch Off/On (You can bind it to any hardware key);
  • Password lock;
  • You can also schedule all these functions using timer dialog;
  • Icon in "Today" screen in the tray for quick access
  • Microsoft Windows XP-style main dialog with gray background and shadow;
  • Program is very small, only 35 Kb;
  • Look for and apply funny skins for psShutXP or create new one;
  • For advanced users psShutXP has a hidden function: hard reset with double confirmation;
  • Also we have special version for WM2003SE that supports VGA screen."


Best of all, it's freeware. I'm not quite sure why they're using a iPAQ 36xx series running Pocket PC 2000 for their screenshots, though.

This might be a good idea for people to use to set a shutdown on their PPC after an alarm so the battery does not run down.

don't know if the shut down will keep the setting. The reset at a certain time works, it resets but it does not retain the settings.

I like it for the turn off display, I know there are others, but this has an ok geek factor

1) the graphics are Mac OS X not Windows XP

2) I am sure they can find an iPAQ in Russia, but I am not sure why would someone WANT an iPAQ (want a thousand better alternatives?)

3) useless... it's just one more tool to turn a PocketPC to a counter-user-friendly stuffed machine

Maybe they don't waste money like the rest of us upgrading every few months.

Just copy the unzipped files to the same directory you installed to (Program Files/psShutXP here). The next time I ran the program the new skin was showing. I haven't tried with more than one skin, so I'm not sure you can change them easily.
