Reveal incoming BT port on WM5/WM6 devices

This tipp is from one of my fellows and it seems to be hard to find any resources on this.
If you need an incoming Bluetooth port on your WM5/6 device and you only got the option for outgoing ports, this tipp might help you.

It is a simple registry hack and needs a warmboot after change:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Serial\Ports\Incoming]
"Port"="COM0"
"Server"=dword:00000001
"Authentication"=dword:00000001
"Encryption"=dword:00000001
"RemoteDCB"=dword:00000000
"KeepDCD"=dword:00000000

Blacklist Applications to disable use

Disable some applications like games, from being started by a user

REGEDIT4

;Enable blacklist of applications that should not run
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Shell]
"DisallowRun"=dword:1

;Add entries to blacklist of applications that should not run
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\DisallowRun]
"1"="fexplore.exe"
"2"="iexplore.exe"

Did you know you can also ‘disable’ use of apps by just overwriting them?

Although most WM files are in ROM and so you can normally not overwrite them. You can still copy a file with the same namen on top of the existing file. You have to use Total Command CE or another non-MS tool to be able to do so.

Internet Explorer Mobile – enable Javascript error reporting

During HTML developing you should enable Javascript Error Warnings:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"ShowScriptErrors"=dword:00000001

With this setting you will get message boxes if something is wrong with your JavaScript code or the way IEM handles Javascript.

Without this setting IEM will not display any script error and you just get a page that does not work as programmed.

Windows Today Screen: Change Softkeys

One more small tip:

to change the today screen softkeys, simply change the following registry keys:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112]
@=”Pocket Excel”
“Open”=”\\Windows\\pxl.exe”

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113]
@=”PocketWord”
“Open”=”\\Windows\\pword.exe”
