How to Use Windows Scheduler to Lock Windows Mobile

Windows Task Scheduler is a tool which can be used to run operations and programs at convenient times. By combining this software with a remotely operated network, it is possible to use a central computer to remotely lock a Windows Mobile device. All that is required is for the Windows Mobile device to have remote registry software installed, and to be present on the network. Given these, an administrator can remotely lock a Windows Mobile using Task Scheduler.
