Disable time and date editing on Windows Mobile

Question

Hi,

Is there a way to disable time and date editing on a Windows Mobile device (via APIs or the registry)?

I have an application using the time and date of a Windows Mobile PDA and I don't want the user to change it (the time and date) - unless - he/she has some kind of administrative rights. I haven't find a way to do it with the menus. Is it possible to do it in any other way?

Thanks

There are some registry keys that you can use to prevent applications running on windows mobile. Check this article out for the use of them. I used these keys a while ago to prevent the date/time being changed by preventing clock.exe from being run. I can't confirm this works with WM6.5 devices but it definitely worked with WM5 based devices.
