I've never heard of HTC Guardian, so I'm certain I don't have it loaded.

LOL... I'm not keeping any secrets. One example of an application that relies on the Windows settings is GPS Today.

You know WHY you can change the settings? ...because you're running the stock OEM ROM.

I am using WkTask, but I have it set to NOT close automatically (tap action set to "do nothing"). If I want to close the app, I have to tap and hold for the menu, then choose "close".
