Quick simple software to allow soft reset from today screen?

pjn

Hi

To cut a long story short, TT3 continually hangs on my HP4150 (from earlier discussions this seems to be down to my Sandisk SD card). The only way I can get Bluetooth connection again is to soft reset the unit, which is a little hazardous when driving!

So I'm looking for something that will add a good-size 'Reset' icon to the Today screen - has anyone come across any free utility to do this?

Thanks!
Pete

Try http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=6666

Not quite on the Today Screen, but accessible via Start/Programs.

Thanks - that should do the job!

Better than removing the device from the cradle and trying to find the reset hole when it's dark :D

Spb's Pocket Plus, if you turn on the feature that allows you to make X close rather than minimise programs, can bring up a menu if you tap and hold on the X. You can add Soft Reset to that menu, which is the shortcut I use if I need to soft reset without uncradling my setup.

I did a little eVB program that will reset the PocketPC. I assign it to a hardware button on the front, so a reset is just a button-press away.

If anyone wants it I'll happily post it somewhere (it needs the eVB runtimes though).

Thanks for the suggestions - I decided to use this one and assign it to a hardware button:

Looks very simple - and the price is right too!

I'm glad you found something to meet your needs.
