For the XPe device the admin account has the ability to lock/unlock the image. The make a change as admin, you unlock and commit the write with a reboot, then re-lock it. With WINce you normally have a hotkey, such as ALT+F4 to gain access to the admin setups. You do not show the admin setup screen and require the hotkey to see them, this is normally how you grant admin access withou letting users control a WINce device........

Trouble is, it seems when you lock it down, you lock it down for all, even administrators. The documentation on these is not that great. I have a demo unit I need to prove out. Citrix runs fine, but I need to scale these machine back, offer just what the users need (a couple Citrix apps.). You can reply to me off-list, if you like. cmschneider@xxxxxxxxx _____ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of King, Jesse Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 3:20 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: HP Thin Clients (newer Models) Yes.
