I suppose it is a good policy...from the companies side of view. You could get some good insider information reading through emails and saved docs. I myself couldn't stand the forced 20 minute lock rule. But..I'll in a red hot second call the IT security guys and get a forced wipe sent though if I know it got stolen!

Aw well...bottom line is there's a hack for everyone. Line 'em up!!
I understand why they do it (to cover their butt). I also won't hesitate to all in and have them remote wipe my phone if it should get lost or stolen. Hopefully they've implemented this lol.
I guess I wouldn't have as much of a problem with it if they were as strict with other devices (desktop pc's and laptops in particular).
Now those 2 things I wouldn't try to hack!!
Mine are forced password locked after 20 minutes....
Interesting... my sync isn't as fast as it was yesterday, in fact it's almost manual right now.
Hmmm..this hack shouldn't cause that. Never has for me.....
Might just be a coincidence or me just being new to the direct Exchange sync but it did seem more instant yesterday.
That said, even after redoing the Server (deleted and re-added) it's still slower.
I guess I'll leave the hack implemented
UPDATE:
I was getting spoiled... turns out it was only when the status of a message changed from one or the other. New items and outgoing emails update almost instantly. But the status of read or deleted doesn't change until the next sync.

I have created a software before to stay unlock even with the regular (defualt is usually 24 hrs) policy enforcement. But it only works on WM5, and I have yet to port it to WM6. IF there's any interest, I can consider porting over.
The phone I have is WM5, care to post it? The reg hack is working great but just in case work does something again I want every option possible.

it makes use of the same reg hack you use, in fact, I was probably the first one who discover this reg hack, way back in 2006.
edit: I realised Q is still a smartphone, I must say it has been tested on a WM5 pocketpc phone, and it should work on WM6 professional, but I have not tested it on a WM5 smartphone, and likely it will not work (as I found out it won't work on WM6 smartphone)

Thank you.
So does this function automatically or is it something you run whenever you notice the policy is in effect again?
