Soft-Reset Application
 
2 Attachment(s)
At only 6kb this tiny little app is a nice way to soft-reset your device with no hassle.

Simply install and look under your Program folder.

(Thanks to Hannip for re-finding it and packing into a .cab!) :thumbleft:

You can run it in silent mode to reset without confirmation using "...reset.exe" /s

Whomever originally built that 1st .cab threw that in there for the heck of it and people have been asking about it ever since... :lol:

Wouldn't it be quicker just hit the reset button with the stylus?

Not if you have a 700w/wx or 750.

The Reset button is near the battery e.g. you have to remove the battery cover to soft reset.

That's a standard Palm thing. Seidio even make some $$ by releasing a battery cover with a pre-drilled hole to stick in the stylus. :lol:

Plus after modding the registry you need to perform a "software reset" via 3rd party app to make sure changes are saved w/treo's, so this app is vital for many ppc users.

I find a manual soft reset seems to save any reg edits I do....

Yeah, the 3rd-party reset thing is treo-specific. I think it s because the treo registry is ROM-based, because tweaks2k2 has an option to make it file-based instead. Not 100% on that one though.

It is nice to have a app like this on a Treo. If I didn't like iLauncher's Task Manager so much, this little app would be on my Treo. I just wish that I didn't have to run iLauncher on my today screen. :(
