capability in configuring system settings, creating shortcuts to desktops, and installing/un-installing

programs, firmware and driver to the PDA. This mode is typically used for initial stage of setup and

ongoing maintenance.

The major restrictions in user mode:

 System settings change  Application shortcuts  Program, driver, firmware installation/un-installation  Device access to files and local databases  Active Sync Connections
