Hello there,

I want to have it so that when a user is using a Pocket PC device they can
only use a certain application that I request.

Incidentally the application happens to be ESRI ArcPad mapping applications
and I do not want the user to be able to get out of the application to be
able to use the normal Pocket PC applications and I certainly do not want
then to be able to edit and remove files.

Is there a way of achieving this and can anyone point me in the direction
where I can learn more?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Dave.

Look at Spb Kiosk as a possible solution...

This looks good although quite expensive for what I want to do. Is there a
cheaper way of doing this or using something like visual studio could I not
create my own wrapper program or something?

All other suggestions are very welcome.

Regards,

Dave

Search the newsgroups for "full-screen" "kiosk mode" "single application"
and the like. It's asked and answered a lot.
