Alternative download via rapidshare here as i ran out of bandwith on the other site

close applications automaticly

The VK task manager had one slight bug and that was that you have to actually be bothered to close the apps and also when the phone keypad was running closing it would cause it to go nuts.

So i have found an even better application that is smclose you dont see it run all it does is convert the x at the top in to a close rather than minimize

Unlike simple call logging applications, Phone Dashboard is the first application designed to intelligently classify your calls based on your actual mobile phone plan, generate useful statistics, and make them available with a convenient interface so all important information is one or two taps away.

This product is invaluable for casual users and professional users who need to separate personal and business calls – you’ll soon see why Phone Dashboard has been called the “Killer App” for Pocket PC Phone Edition devices.

Speed up Internet Explorer on WM5

One of the most common and effective tweaks for web browsers on the desktop is also possible for IE on WM5. Stored in the registry are two keys which tell Internet Explorer how many connections it should make to a server when downloading a web page. They define the “Maximum number of concurrent connections” and they’re just itching for a tune-up.

Details after the jump…

By changing the following key:

HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Main/MaxRequestThreads = 5

to a value higher than the default (5) will enable greater bandwidth saturation during page download and a noticable improvement in page load time. I took a guess and raised the MaxThreads to 10 and have had no problems (thus far).

[Update] Also, you will want to add the dword value:

HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Main/MaxConnectionsPerServer

and set it to the same value as you choose for MaxRequestThreads.

But, obviously, nothing is free in life. Here’s the hitch: threads use memory. No matter what value you raise the the MaxThreads to, you’re going to be using some amount more memory than you were before. It’s a tradeoff. So don’t go crazy and set that value to 200 and complain when starting IE causes your phone to burst into flames. (I hereby renounce any liability resulting from injuries that may occur to phone or owner during this tweak
