    This looks good. I have an ArcPad applet that I would like users to be able to run only when needed (as it adds an additional toolbar in ArcPad).

    Is there a convenient way to use ArcPad Today to allow ArcPad to run with/without specified applets? I wondered about using FileCopy to copy valid and dummy applet files into the \Applet folder, but perhaps there is a neater solution.

    cheers

    Hi i have been trying to use the Power Toy to copy a dependant apm file.

    However this doesn't seem to be working.

    Is this because the FileCopy method in PowerToy will only work with certain files?

    Cheers

    Has there been an update to the ArcPad Today Powertoy?
    I've been using it on a WM6.1 Juniper Archer, but whenever I suspend & unsespend the device the screen (while still functioning) goes fully white.
    After I uninstall ArcPad Today normal functionality is resumed.
