We've been hitting our heads with the limitations of PalmOS email clients and are jumping ship to Windows Mobile, however I just need to make sure the existing configuration (web browser completely inaccessible even if hard reset) is able to carry over to WM.

Would the idea of making a dummy Internet Explorer exe CAB in Extended ROM do the trick? Can items in Extended ROM overwrite items that are stored in ROM?

Sorry for all the questions, I really do appreciate the input.

Cheers all,

As long as they can install things, what prevents the end user from unlocking and changing their extended rom, or even flashing a new rom? Unless you can get the provider to block it for you, I dont think there is a fool-proof method of preventing web surfing. And since you are worried about data usage, you also need to worry about blocking internet connection sharing.
