Disable Wireless Zero Configuration On WM2003
Posted by Janak Parekh in "SOFTWARE" @ 03:00 PM
"I've written a small app to disable 'Wireless Zero Configuration' for my Ipaq 4150. I think it should also work on any other Windows Mobile 2003 based Pocket PCs with built-in wireless cards. You’ll need the .NET Compact Framework (which is included in WM2003). It simply deletes the relevant registry keys (or re-adds them if deleted). After a soft-reset, you should find that the annoying popups (whenever a new AP is found) are gone. Great if you’re running something like WiFifofum to scan for available APs."
I haven't used this, but I occasionally hear complaints from people that their Pocket PC keeps on "detecting" new APs, even when their configuration is set exactly the way they want - or when they're scanning for new networks, but they don't want to attach to them. This little piece of freeware might do just the trick to work around the "eagerness" of WM2003 to detect new networks.
