Re: IE on windows mobile - disable???
Just delete the shortcut for starters?
It's at \Windows\Start Menu\Internet Explorer.lnk
Might have to look @ the properties and untick "System" and/or "Read-Only" if you wish to delete it.
I don't know if its safe to actually remove the IE executable but you can that too.
It will revert to default if they do a hard reset, but you'd probably notice that. Besides that I can't really help, I've never used those models only some other model and they were bundled with IBM POS systems, all you had to do was scan 6 barcodes it would configure the network download the software lock itself down and reboot.

 ..they need a bigger smiley face here...
Actually, I've done that; deleted the shortcut in all locations, but here's the kicker. Somehow, on this one I'm working on, the backspace key opens IE. Yeah, somehow, I don't know if it's a default (don't know how you'd change it either), this scanner (possibly other MC9090's) will open up IE if you hit backspace key while on the desktop!
If I could just restrict it such that it wouldn't surf, that'd be awesome. No biggie if the program is there, as long as it's locked from browsing.
Not sure if we have any programming barcodes for these, I guess I'll bug the programmers about that too... Surely, if they could figure out how to remove IE from the older models, these aren't TOO different... |
