pocket pc

a couple of you dell totin' pocket pc hackers sent this in--turns out there's a secret contrast app the you can unlock by editing the registry.

'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Contrast' renaming the "redirect" value to "redirect_" (or rename to something else, or remove it completely). soft reset and go to start > settings > system > contrast and adjust the contrast.

4. This hack applies to any pocket pc with 2002 and 2003. But the contrast applet only works in the Toshiba e740 and the Dell X50 (I did not know about the Dell untill I read this page)
