Be Safe with SafeMode For PocketPC
"I've developed this program because many times, after I installed some programs, my PocketPC froze or kept soft-rebooting. This way I don't need to hard-reset my PDA when that happens."
Here is a useful and ingenious little app. Installing as a service, when activated it disables your startup items. I've had a few times myself where a startup has gotten out of control and I can't get in to stop it, and unfortunatly a hard-reset was necessary. This looks like it could have saved me a few hours of re-setting up!

there's no "they". I've had some people having nightmares about the blue color, so I'll work on cosmetics for next versions  right now I'm focusing on functionality, meaning disabling Services and 3rd party SIP plugins
thank you all for support.

Just down loaded it and it works great! I had the password feature turned on and you won't see the notice to press action until it is too late unless you just keep pressing action as the password screen loads and then after you enter your password it goes into safe mode.

Hi pivaska,
I know about that issue. It also happens if you have "MY INFO" enabled. I will fix that in future versions

Maybe for the .7 or .8 release we could also have selective start ups? i.e. starting only the programs/processes/SIPs we want from a checklist?
I'm not sure how deep you want to dive into this project, but I have no doubt it will save me headaches in the future.

Does anybody know if this works with the 4700's touchpad? The touch Action is a real PITA sometimes to get a result from...
If nobody knows I suppose I'll be the guinea pig...

Tye: Actually, yes, you have read my mind.
About the Action button, in the following versions, the key will be configurable.

The program is working great on my 4705. Make sure you're not in cursor mode.
Yeah, the navpad pretty much sucks. :?
