good locking program?

i am not looking for a locking program that simply disables my buttons when i turn the device off. im looking for a program that requires me to type in a simple password to unlock the phone and be able to use it

all ideas are appreciated, thank you

I use Pocket Secure http://www.totalpocketpc.com/ps5web/6.html & like it alot. The only thing I do not like about it is the program utilizes the default Windows mobile keyboard & now the keyboard is popping up in all my applications instead of the compact qwerty

There is a VERY limited selection.

I mean, like 1 program. [ok maybe 2 or 3]

And it's buggy.

I can't remember the name... let me find it for you.

You could try ThrottleLock, it uses a pattern-based password. It's very similar to the lock on Android. http://www.throttlelauncher.com/port...rottle-lock-04

Im using pocket shield and love it .. i tried S2U2 and it messed up my keyboard to, virtual pop up keyboard that is. TO get it back i had to hard reset and start over, which wasnt a big deal, but Pocket Shield seems to work great.. still testing but so far no issues.

I didn't care for pocket shield ...it was very buggy and I had much of the same issues as described throughout this thread

Is there one that locks both in landscape and portrait and will lock the hardware keys as well? i have tried all of them: s2u2, pocket sheild, throttle lock....all of them had pros and cons. Mostly the cons where that i missed calls or it slowed down my ppc....any suggestions?

I like thr throttle app. Took me a min to configure a good lock - patterns will be harder to configure than numbers.
