I used ActiveSync to remove the short-cut "welcome" found in the Windows / Setup directory. It points to welcome.com in the Windows directory. That's the program that provides the set-up screen and runs the align program. Removing the short-cut in the Windows / Setup directory is completely recoverable. If you then do a hard reset, the system will replace it automatically. You can even cut-paste it to your PC through ActiveSync and paste it back again. When you go through the set-up / align in the normal way, the system automatically removes it. If your Pocket PC is already aligned and working normally, you will not find a welcome short-cut in Windows / Setup.

See that's useful. take your time no rush but it would be worth a detailed summary. I read the whole thread from start to finish and ther were things there that I would never even have thought of.
