Hello
as a developer I always need to know the current IP address of a device. Normally it takes 5 or more taps to get the current IP of an device, so I wrote this today screen plugin.
iInfo today will show the current main IP, the model code (except for the always other CN50) and the serial number (except for CN50
)of the ITC device. Additionally the tool comes with IP config like tool, that shows some more info about current network connection (WINS, DNS etc). And tapping the tool symbol on the right you will beam directly to the connection settings applet.

One more small tip:
to change the today screen softkeys, simply change the following registry keys:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112]
@=”Pocket Excel”
“Open”=”\\Windows\\pxl.exe”[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113]
@=”PocketWord”
“Open”=”\\Windows\\pword.exe”
One more small tip:
to disable the today screen and prohibit a user from starting anything from there, simply change the following registry keys:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today]
“Enabled”=dword:00000001
change this to
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today]
“Enabled”=dword:00000000
But be warned, the today screen will not refresh and so the background will not refresh. If you leave (minimize) an app, the screen may partially not refresh.
