Locking down access

[mebenz]

I have used the App Centre that Symbol provides on our scanners, but it's not working out for us.

We have scanners running Windows CE 5.0. I have been able to remove most of the shortcuts from the desktop, but I can't seem how to remove the programs from the start programs list. I know that users could still browse the devices, but want it to be less obvious to users on how to do this.

We only want users that have these devices to only use the apps we put on the desktop.

Is this possible?

Not sure about newer models, but I did it on a Symbol 8100 device running CE 3.x with a .REG file, something like this:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today]
"Date"=dword:00000001
"Enabled"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"]
"Flags"=dword:00000003
"Enabled"=dword:00000000
"Order"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Inbox"]
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000000
"Order"=dword:00000002
"Type"=dword:00000002

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Owner Info"]
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000000
"Order"=dword:0000000e
"Type"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Tasks"]
"Flags"=dword:00000001
"Enabled"=dword:00000000
"Order"=dword:00000003
"Type"=dword:00000003

The line "Enabled"=dword:00000000 being the main ingredient.
