Hotkey (Activation hotkey)

If the mobile device uses AppLock to allow the user to switch between applications, the default Activation key is Ctrl+Spc. The key sequence switches the focus between one application and another. Data entry affects the application running in the foreground only. Note that the system administrator may have assigned a different key sequence to use when switching applications.

End User Internet Explorer (EUIE)

AppLock supports applications that utilize Internet Explorer, such as .HTML pages and JAVA applications. The end user can run an application by entering the application name and path in Internet Explorer’s address bar.

To prevent the end user from executing an application using this method, the address bar and Options settings dialog are restricted in Internet Explorer. This is accomplished by creating an Internet Explorer that is used in end user mode: End-user Internet Explorer (EUIE.EXE). The EUIE executes the Internet Explorer application in full screen mode which removes the address bar and status bar. The Options Dialog is also removed so the end user cannot re-enable the address bar.

The administrator specifies the EUIE by checking the Internet check box in the Application tab of the Administrator applet. The internet application should then be entered in the Application text box.

When the Internet check box is enabled, the Menu and Status check boxes are available.

Enabling the Menu check box displays the EUIE menu which contains navigation functions like Back, Forward, Home, Refresh, etc., functions that are familiar to most Internet Explorer users. When the Menu check box is blank, the EUIE menu is not displayed and Navigation functions are unavailable.

When the Status check box is enabled, the status bar displayed by EUIE gives feedback to the end-user when they are navigating the Internet.

If the standard Internet Explorer that is shipped with the mobile device is desired, it should be treated like any other application. This means that IEXPLORER.EXE (or equivalent) should be specified in the Application text box and the internet application should be entered in the command line. In this case, do not check the Internet check box.
