Hi,
I am using 2 handheld devices, one running Windows Mobile 5.0 and the other
Pocket PC 2003.
I have a requirement in which the user is not supposed to access Device
"Settings".
For this purpose, I have some code that deletes the "Settings" folder when
the device boots up.
However, the issue is, the code is properly able to delete the folder in
Mobile 5.0 device but not in Pocket PC 2003. I have noticed that the
directory/file attributes are not "read only" either.
Is deleting the "Settings" folder from Pocket PC 2003 not permitted?
Thanks,
Naresh
 
I jsut wanted to add that when I meant deleting the "Settings" folder, I am
referring to the path \Windows\Start Menu\Settings
 
I have tried setting the attribute to Archive. I still get "Access is denied"
error.

Thanks,
Naresh
 
It could be that the OEM for that device has locked down the Settings folder.
Your best bet is to contact them.
