First, it’s important to know that this really only applies to WinMo fans with Windows Mobile Standard smartphones. What is Application Lock? The WM Standard operating system uses Application Lock to keep unqualified Windows Mobile applications from accessing core parts of the Windows Mobile platform. This essentially cripples apps without privileged signatures from running on your Standard smartphone. Windows Mobile Professional simply asks you if you trust a certain app, and gives it full access to the OS with your approval – so WM Professional doesn’t suffer from Application Lock.
Disabling Application Lock on your smartphone can be a lengthy and involved process. But, thanks to MobileJaw‘s Mike Temporale, disabling Windows Mobile Standard’s Application Lock is as simple as downloading an app and clicking a button. Here’s what you do:
- Download MobileJaw-ClearSecurity-MobiControl here.
- Run the app.
- Then uninstall the app by navigating to Start menu / Settings / Remove Programs.
Your Windows Mobile Standard handset (WM5, 6, 6.1 and 6.5) is now free to use whatever Windows Mobile app you desire!
