I am looking for a way to tie down a PocketPC 2002/2003 device to running a
single, compact framework based program.

I have looked through google searching for various combinations of keywords,
but can find nothing suitable; the closest that I have gotten is the Kiosk
mode article on http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/kiosk_mode.html, but this
is not for the CF.

Has anybody sucessfully acheived the following in a single cf application:
* Disable start menu
* Run application full screen
* Still enable the use of the MainMenu control and the SIP
* Automatically run at startup without allowing the user to
access the start menu before the application begins
* Still faciltate exiting to the operating system (via some kind
of authentication) for administrators

I look forward to any help you may offer.

Thanks.

That looks like the kind of thing that I am looking for, but it is a bit
ouside my price range. What it does however is to prove that what I want can
be done!

Any suggestions on how to achieve the same with .NET CF?

There are plenty of examples in the archives. Search for "Full-screen",
"kiosk" "hide start button" and the like. IDSSAPI .NET also provides the
hooks, and it's only $50
