AppLock is designed to be run on certain certified Windows CE based devices only. The AppLock program is installed as part of the default software load and is configured with the Administration control panel. Configuration parameters are specified by the AppLock Administrator for the Thor VM2 end-user. AppLock is password pro- tected by the Administrator.
Page 124: Setup A New Device
Devices with the AppLock feature are shipped to boot in Administration mode with no default password, thus when the Thor VM2 is first booted, the user has full access to the device and no password prompt is displayed. After the admin- istrator specifies the applications to lock, a password is assigned and the device is rebooted or the hotkey is pressed, the device switches to end-user mode.

AppLock Error Messages Any messages whose first word is an ‘ing’ word is output prior to the action described in the message. For example, “Switching to admin-hotkey press” is logged after the administrator has pressed the hotkey but prior to starting the switch process. For all operations that can result in an error, an Error level message is displayed when a failure occurs.
Page 289 Message Explanation and/or corrective action Level Could not create event The keyboard filter uses this event at the Administrator Control panel. The event LOG_ERROR EVT_HOTKEYCHG could not be created. Could not hook keyboard If the keyboard cannot be controlled, AppLock cannot process the hotkey. This LOG_ERROR failure prevents a mode switch into user mode.
Page 290 Message Explanation and/or corrective action Level Hot key pressed Processing the hotkey and backdoor entry LOG_EX Hot key set event failure When the administrator changes the hotkey configuration the hotkey controller LOG_ERROR must be notified. This notification failed. Hotkey press message re- The user just pressed the configured hotkey.
Page 291 Message Explanation and/or corrective action Level Registry read failure at re- The registry has to be read when switching into user mode. This is because the LOG_ERROR enter user mode administrator can change the settings during administration mode. The read of the registry failed which means the Administration key was not found or the Ap- pName value was missing or empty.
Page 292 Message Explanation and/or corrective action Level Unable to move taskbar The taskbar is moved when switching into user mode. This prevents them from LOG_ERROR being visible if the application is exited and restarted by the timer. This error does not affect the screen mode switch; processing continues.
