Hi ppl,

I'm not sure how big of a newbie question this is, but I was wondering
what options are there as to starting my self-made (compact framework)
application on a let's say HP iPAQ Pocket PC from boot/startup.
Meaning, a way in wich the user will only be presented with my
application (even after a hard/soft reset) to work from so that he/she
will not be able at all to view/use/mess up underlying settings in the
Windows CE Mobile environment?

Somewhat frequent question, but asked in enough different ways to make
a google search difficult. Until you know that it is commonly called
"kiosk mode". So you will find useful info if you use google
(http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search) to look up
kiosk
in this newsgroup; I just did and got 113 hits. I also used google to
look up
kiosk cf
and got 867 hits. I took a quick look at them and am quite sure you'll
find useful info, including a probably more appropriate newsgroup.



Thanks for any tips/hints you can share!
