Performing a "Hard" Reset
Perform a hard reset only when you want to clear all user-installed settings, applications, and data from RAM (Random Access Memory), where data and applications you have loaded are stored.
CAUTION: If you perform a hard reset, your Pocket PC loses all data and programs not saved in iPAQ File Store.

To perform a hard reset:

1. Press and hold down the Calendar and iTask buttons.
2. While holding down these buttons, use the stylus to lightly press the Reset button on the bottom of the iPAQ Pocket PC for about two seconds.
3. When the Pocket PC screen begins to fade, release the Calendar and iTask buttons first, and then remove the stylus from the Reset button.
   NOTE: If you simultaneously push and hold the Reset, Calendar, and iTask buttons for more than two seconds, the battery disconnects. To restart the device, either plug the device into the AC Adapter or press the Reset button again.After performing a hard reset, you may need to reinstall applications stored in iPAQ File Store to restore shortcuts and full functionality.
   
4. The Pocket PC resets and powers on.

To return your iPAQ Pocket PC to factory settings after performing a hard reset:

1. Tap Start > Programs > File Explorer > My Device .
2. Tap the iPAQ File Store folder to open it.
3. Tap Edit > Select All .
4. Tap and hold the selected files, then tap Delete .
5. Tap Yes to delete all file in iPAQ File Store.

Many thanks Martin, however, cant find the folder "IPAQ File Store." This file was in my old PDA (HP rz1710) - WMSE. I am trying to delete some advertising etc downloaded from the internet - unable to do so. When I try to delete the files, the PDA soft re-sets!!, this is why I need to take it back to "factory." It may be that the PDA has a virus (or other) issue; if so, are there any (free) removers available to remove this "unwanted stuff."

Regards.
