Customize Locking

I'm looking for a program that will lock my whole device each time i soft off and then turn back on with the power button. I know about setting the timer to 0 however, it is annoying to do that because then it locks the device after less than a minute of usage when I just want it to lock when I hit the power button. I would like it to come back asking for a password prompt if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Customize Locking

S2U2 is really nice but it doesnt have a password prompt. you can map the normal lock feature on windows mobile to the long press end key of the phone, but again no password prompt, also when sliding the keyboard it unlocks and this can happen in your pocket...

S2U2 is really nice when set up properly though

Re: Customize Locking

Setting the password timer to 0 doesn't lock the device "after less than a minute of usage" if you bump up the "Turn off backlight if device is not used for" timer to a higher number. Just set it to a reasonable timeframe and you'll achieve what you want without need of any extra software (i.e., if you power it off with Power button, it will lock; likewise if you allow it to sit idle for the amount of time you specified, it will turn off the backlight and lock, even without the device being fully off).
