<p>What is the simplest way to do this without removing the things that are already there? I'm trying to set up a device for someone so it's as simple as possible to do just the things they want, which is basically see a couple of the normal Today screen things (I removed the rest), and launch one application.</p>

<p>Found this in the manual, hope is helps.. </p> <h2>Changing the interface</h2> <p>Third-party software can also be used to add items to the Today screen and to give your Windows Mobile phone an entirely new interface. As originally installed, your Windows Mobile Today screen looks something like this:</p> <p><img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/532254/do%20not%20delete/Screen%20shot%202010-01-19%20at%206.35.24%20PM.png" alt="alt text" /></p> <p><em>Windows Mobile Today screen as originally installed on a Windows Mobile 6 phone</em></p> <p>It does not include shortcuts to programs, instant weather updates, or detailed information about your battery life. But third-party developers have made plug-in programs for the Today screen that can provide more in-depth information and shortcuts. One example of this is the Spb Pocket Plus (from <a href="http://spbsoftwarehouse.com" rel="nofollow">http://spbsoftwarehouse.com</a>), which looks like this:</p> <p><img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/532254/do%20not%20delete/Screen%20shot%202010-01-19%20at%206.36.54%20PM.png" alt="alt text" /></p> <p><em>Windows Mobile Today screen with Spb Pocket Plus installed on a Windows Mobile 6 phone</em></p> <p>Each of the stars is a tab that provides a shortcut to battery life, programs, recently viewed web pages, and more.</p> <p>Another popular Today screen program is the Omega One Battery Pack Pro <a href="http://www.omegaone.com" rel="nofollow">from</a>.</p> <p><img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/532254/do%20not%20delete/Screen%20shot%202010-01-19%20at%206.37.01%20PM.png" alt="alt text" /></p> <p><em>Windows Mobile Today screen with Battery Pack Pro installed</em></p> <p>Users can also download alternative interfaces for Windows Mobile. Two of the best alternative interfaces are the Spb Mobile Shell <a href="http://spbsoftwarehouse.com" rel="nofollow">from</a> and WisBar Advance Desktop <a href="http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com" rel="nofollow">from</a>.</p> <p><img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/532254/do%20not%20delete/Screen%20shot%202010-01-19%20at%206.37.10%20PM.png" alt="alt text" /></p> <p><em>Windows Mobile Today screen, with Spb Mobile Shell installed (left) and with WisBar Advance Desktop installed (right)</em></p> <p>These customized screens provide the same information as the Today screen plug-ins but with a more streamlined interface.</p> <p><img src="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;ct=res&amp;cd=9&amp;ved=0CCgQFjAI&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fdownload.microsoft.com%2Fdownload%2F3%2F6%2F9%2F3696E87D-A4E8-4C16-BE02-ECD4219482CD%2FMastering%5FWindows%5FMobile%5F6.pdf&amp;ei=RGtWS6btO4-OtAOdzqXqAQ&amp;usg=AFQjCNGZxtJdFxqsqo7qv9MlgZfW3dGkbw&amp;sig2=HE%5FSjbvWJ87H-U5WwcsnzA" alt="via" /></p>
