Default WM6.1 Backlight Timeout (Registry)

Ever since I upgraded my AT&T Tilt to the 6.1 ROM, my backlight timeout resets to 8 seconds every time I power off. More information can be found here.

Attached is a simple program to read the registry value from the advanced power settings and resetting the backlight timeout to the same value. This could have been done using Mortscript or sharpdevelop/vb.net, but I thought I'd drive some interest in the B4PPC language.

Requires registry library (included in zip)

Also, what works for me may not work for thee. Any program that touches the registry should be used with caution.

10/2/08 update includes:

* a simple installer "install" to install resetbl to events table, to be executed every time the device is turned on.
* a second installer "install2" install resetbl to events table, to be executed after a synch
* a simple uninstaller "uninstall" - to remove resetbl from events table
