A few Windows Mobile 5.0 questions (GUI stuff)

Atreju,

1. The Recently Used menu isn't something that normally is accessible to
the end user. However, if you purchase Tweaks2K2
(http://www.tweaks2k2.com), you will be able to clear out this menu (along
with a whole bunch of other things). Personally I think this is one of
those must-have applications.

2. I'm not going to be much help on this one.

Regards,

And I thought newer OSes were supposed to be IMPROVEMENTS.

Where'd you get that crazy idea? Did you sleep through Windows ME?
