LXE suggests ensuring the directory path currently exists before assigning the path in this parameter. For example, if the certificate is stored in My Computer/System/mycertificate.cer, enter System in the Certs Path text box as the directory path.

Page 243: Chapter 6 Applock
Introduction Note: LXE has made the assumption, in this chapter, that the first user to power up a new mobile device is the system administrator. LXE’s AppLock is designed to be run on LXE certified Windows CE based devices only. LXE loads the AppLock program as part of the LXE customer installation process.
Page 244: Setup A New Device
An MX3Plus default input method (Input Panel, Transcriber, or custom input method) is assigned. LXE CE devices with the AppLock feature are shipped to boot in Administration mode with no default password, thus when the device is first booted, the user has full access to the device and no password prompt is displayed.
Page 245: Administration Mode
If this type of application is being locked, the administrator should close all other applications before switching to end user mode to minimize the screen flicker. Windows accelerator keys such as Alt-F4 are disabled. E-EQ-MX3PLUSRG-B Shift+Ctrl+A none none none MX3Plus Reference Guide...
Page 246: Passwords
To summarize, if an error occurs that prevents AppLock from switching to user mode, the password will not timeout and AppLock will wait until the correct password is entered. Troubleshooting Can’t locate the password that has been set by the administrator? Enter this LXE back door key sequence: Ctrl+L Ctrl+X Ctrl+E...
Page 247: End-User Switching Technique
The touch screen must be enabled. A checkmark indicates applications currently active or available for Launching by the user. When Keyboard is selected, the MX3Plus default input method (Input Panel, Transcriber, or custom input method) is activated. Using a Stylus Tap When the mobile device enters end-user mode, a Switchpad icon (it looks like three tiny windows one above the other) is displayed in the taskbar.

Administrator mode. If a password has been set, but an application has not been specified, the user will be prompted for the password before entering administration mode. The password prompt remains on the display until a valid password is entered. MX3Plus Reference Guide | Settings | Control Panel | Administration icon Shift+Ctrl+A.
Page 249 Internet Explorer (EUIE) for more details. See following section titled Launch Button. Note: AppLock Administrator Control panel file Launch option does not inter-relate with similarly-named options contained in other LXE Control Panels. Default is Ctrl+Spc.

Error conditions may generate a topmost popup requiring an end-user response, memory resource issues requiring an end-user response, etc. Also at the administrator’s discretion, these types of applications can be started manually (see Manual [Launch]) by the end-user.
