Use Voice Command to open PIE shortuts

To use Voice Command to open a specific web site:
1. Open pocket internet explorer, enter the website you are interested in, and save it as a favorite.
2. Open File Explorer and copy the internet shortcut you created, from the Windows\Favorites folder and paste it in the Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder.
3. Rename the shortcut to a simple one-word title, e.g. "Weather"

Now you can use Voice Command to go directly to your PIE shortcut.

Use Pocket Internet Explorer as IE 6.0

This one has Pros and Cons to it. The pro is you can access sites that filter and stop PDAs from accessing them. The con is you will not see any PDA optimized sites on the web and pages may not display or work right because it assumes you have full access to java, asp, etc....

Many web sites that require encryption (such as banks and online retailers) don't verify if your browser support high encryption, they just check the browser version.

Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent \
Change the default value from "Mozilla/2.0" to "Mozilla/4.0".
Change the "Version" value from "MSIE 3.02" to "MSIE 6.0".
Change the "Platform" value from "Windows CE" to "Windows NT 5.1".
Some web sites may just compare the user agent string, but if this is not enough, browse to the Post Platform\ sub key and delete the "240x320" value that specifies screen size.

Prevent accidental flight mode 

If you hold down the End Call button (red button) too long after you hang up the phone it will cause the phone to turn off or go into Flight Mode. Here is a remedy:
You must have a registry editor installed on the PPC, such as PHM RegEdit
Go to the registry and change the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> ControlPanel -> PhoneExtendFunction -> CDMA
Change FlightModeSwitchByPnHEndKey to 0

This works on both various WM03 and WM05 devices to turn off the blinking led lights:

Change the Index value from 1 to 0
Soft reset if needed

WARNING: This hack disables the vibrate function!

To change the Phone on and off sound since its not a choice in the Sounds program:

Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/PhoneExtendedFunction/FlightModeOnOff 

Change the directory of the Sound_on and Sound_off to the directory and name of the sound file you want to use.
You could also use this to Mute it, if you assigned to a silent sound file.

Get rid of Sound Off file, and save memory

Save 700K+ of memory by deleting the \Windows\PhoneOff.wav file (almost 800K) and copying \Windows\PhoneOn.wav file (17K) to \Windows\PhoneOff.wav

and tweak the following values.
cyHScr : Horizontal Scrollbars Height in pixels (default is 13)
cxHScr : Horizontal Scrollbars Width in pixels (default is 20)
