This small program runs in the background and checks permanant if a headset is connected to the PocketPC. When the headset is removed accidentally or intenional from the PocketPC, the volume will be set to a default value. This should prevent, that you forget to change the volume or to stop the music playing and so your music won’t “annoy” other people around you.

Release notes by Radimus:
Premise is that there are many backup utilities that will backup/restore either dirs or the whole ROM, but not just for a specific apps settings. There are many ways that dev could use to store their settings for a given app, but getting them all to do the same way is “difficult”. However, if program A had it’s settings in a settings.ini (or whatever name) and that specific file could be backed up and restored later after a hard reset or new ROM installed, it would make the flashing a ROM even easier since UC came out.
My idea is for an app that works sort of like AppToDate, in that it will parse a collection of ini files in a directory to determine what a given progam uses for it’s configuation (files or reg keys) and will backup/restore them.
Basically all that someone needs to do is:
– Extract the UMCe2.zip to a folder on their Storage Card
– Register Mortscript (just click on it once, from this point on you can just click on a script and it will run.)
– Place the INI files that define the files or keys of the app that you’d like to backup/restore into the Storage CardUCMe2ini folder. I have posted a small collection of some INI files as examples
– If you’d like startmenu shortcuts, I attached a few dummy.exe files that you can put into the UCMe2 folder so you can make shortcuts.
– Run the UCMe2_Backup and it will read every INI file in the ini folder and store the backup files in Storage CardUCMe2Backup
– Run the UCMe2_Restore and it will read every INI file in the ini folder are restore the backups
Feel free to create your own INI files and post them here for others to share
