Multi-Application Configuration
The default Administrator Hotkey sequence is Shift+Ctrl+A.
Administrator mode allows access to all features on the device. When the hotkey is pressed to
switch into Administrator mode, a password prompt is displayed (if a password has been
configured). A password must be entered within 30 seconds (and within three tries) or the
password prompt is removed and the device remains in end-user mode with the focus returned to
the locked application. Without entry of a valid password, the switch into Administrator mode
will not occur.
Access: Settings | Control Panel | Administration icon
The password prompt is displayed if a password has been configured. When the valid password is
entered, the Administration Control panel is displayed. When a valid password is not entered
within 30 seconds, the user is returned to the System Control Panel.
If a password has not been configured, the Administrator Control panel is displayed.
Important: Before setting up multiple instances of the same application, make sure the
targeted software application will allow two instances to run at the same time.

Figure 6-3 Application Panel – Multi-Application
Note: If your Application Panel does not look like the figure shown above, you may have the
Single Application version.
Use the Application tab options to select the applications to launch when the device boots up in
End User Mode.
Move the cursor to the Filename text box and either type the application path or tap the Browse
button (the … button). The standard Windows CE Browse dialog is displayed. After selecting the
application from the Browse dialog, tap OK.
Enter the Title to be associated with the application’s icon. The assumption is that multiple copies
of the same application may need unique text for the icon in order to differentiate them in the
application switcher panel.
Enter the command line parameters for the application in the Arguments text box.
