Lock down file/folders within portable devices on windows 7 - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know this is not a mobile 7 issue but I assume Windows Mobile Device center is used with 7 so I hope my question is related....
Using Windows Mobile 5
Device is a Symbol MC70
Basically, we use Windows 7 and the Windows Mobile Device Center to connect the phone to the computer. Within that application, users can open up file management and delete files under the Application partition of the phone. Is there any way to lock down user access to the filesystem or certain files/folders within the Mobile Device Center while leaving Activesync enabled? We need it to be able to connect to our web app service so disabling activesync is not an option. Only idea I have for now is to hide the specific folders. Let me know if you need more information!

Thanks for your help

Noob question - is this possible?

i am very very new to Android development, i was wondering if it is possible to create an application (ill be using a HTC Hero running 2.1) that when connected to a windows PC via cable i could press a button within the app that starts a windows application located on the phones memory card(e.g. netstat.exe), that will gather information about the windows computer and store it on the phone?
cheers for any help,
L.
i suppose u will need software on that pc that will wait for your hero to connect and send those informations. otherwise, the app must be apple to start applications on the windows pc, what shouldnt be possible.

[Q] how to add windows 7 and android and leaving the original windows 6.5 on htc hd2

hi, i want to know how to add windows 7 and also android but leaving the windows 6.5 on the phone and also is there a way to add the option where you can select from which OS to boot from when the phone turns on just like the simple selection menu when starting on a computer. Is the zune and marketplace and also the connectivity to the zune software where it did not detect the windows 7 phone been solved on windows.Also it would be nice to have everything installed on the nand instead of on the SDCARD.
Thanks

[Q] WM 6.5 Locking the Start Menu

Hello,
We have a mobile application that runs on Windows ce 4.2 for business use. On CE 4.2 there was the ability to lock the start menu and require and admin password to access it.
This allowed us to launch our app on startup, and the user wasn't able to access anything other then our app. If then the IT department had to make changes for config they would have full access to the mobile PC by using the password.
We have now moved to a new handheld pc deivce that is running on WM 6.5. And the lock startmenu dosn't appear to be part of the system. The lock seems to lock screen access all together, not just access to the OS features.
I've done some searchs and see that the start menu can be replaced completely. But havn't seen any that have a lock feature built into them.
Is their anything in the regitry to set? Or something we could change on the fly with in our application to enable/disable access to the startmenu?

[Q] Integrate WM Device Center

Hi everyone, Is it possible to integrate the WM Device Center directly in the OS? I don't wanna have to open this app every time I connect my phone to the pc..I'm lazy, I know

Seems like you are lazy more than you've expected. You don't even read forum title - it's WP7, not WM forum
I'm not even sure what app or what OS you're referring to - do you mean ToucnXpereince on WP7? That's *supposed* to open automatically when you start WPDM on the PC.
Windows Mobile Device Center is a "big" Windows (desktop/laptop) app, not a phone app... are you saying you want it to launch on the PC when you connect your phone?
Sorry guys, I haven't been clear enough I meant the Windows Mobile Device Center LAUNCHER look at this tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521763
It's an app that has to be launched on a fully unlocked phone every time you connect it to the computer. In this way your device can be explored as a sort of plug&play usb mass storage. You can directly copy on it doc files, or anything else you want. Even xap files on my HD7 with deepshining, if I install a File Browser too, I'm able to install XAPs directly from my phone without any other software installed on my pc or on my phone. I think it's a great thing, even for doc files because before of this program the only method to transfer them from PC to the phone ad vice versa was to send'em to myself via mail, or use skydrive. Not much convenient for me. This new method simplyfied my life
So my question was: can this XAP be directly integrated in Windows Phone 7 so when I connect my device to the computer I don't have to open every time this app on my phone?
Now *that* is actually an interesting question. It's certainly possible to have a PC app start a phone app; that's how WPDM launches TouchXperience or Visual Studio launches a debug app. To launch fully automaticlaly, though... that would probably require that the app either have some background service (possible on a fully-unlocked ROM) that monitors for a PC connection, or that the app be registered in some way as "do this when you connect" although I'm not sure how I'd go about the latter.
Yeah, now it's much clear and as GoodDayToDie said is much more interesting I'm already thought about implementation (but I need to run WPConnect.exe automatically, not a Windows Mobile Device Center LAUNCHER). I'll try to find time for the development of this app (this one - finding time - is really hard ), so stay tuned!

Hey, gigsaw, did you tried WP7 auto launcher? I don't have full unlock so I can't test with WMDC Launcher.
So sorry if it seems that I disappeared but someone stole my HD7 some days ago D: D: D: D: I'm so sad........I was very interested in windows phone 7, I thought it could be the best mobile OS with a bit of developing..but now I can't do anything more. So sorry guys ='(
