Ran across "clean" reset on HP support site while researching how to reset my WM5-updated hx2415 iPaq. HP distinguishes between soft/hard/clean. Difference in memory storage between WM 2003 and WM 5/6 complicated this I guess.
On Windows Mobile 5.0 products, a hard (full) reset stops all running programs, but does not clear user data or applications because they are stored in ROM (Persistent Store feature). A hard reset also resets all hardware registers. Users can perform a Clean Reset, in which the product is cleared to its factory defaults. A clean reset returns the HP iPAQ to the default Windows Mobile 5.0 settings with no user data or applications.
I was assuming here that this applied in general and to WM6 as well.
