Monocube has just released a new (Windows Mobile 5 ready) version of their Safemode application, which protects against startup issues on a Pocket PC, and allows a safe mode startup (as on a PC) to identify and troubleshoot problems.

Safemode 2 has been dubbed the safest of the various available safe mode programs (like Spb Pocket Plus and iLauncher) by Menneisyys, as it is able to filter the most complete range of startup items, as follows:

• INIT applications – these are low level applications, such as older versions of "Mad Programmer’s ForceHiRes" or "XCPUScalar"
• Services – these are system applications; they are not visible with the task manager, and generally run in the background
• Startup applications – startup links, placed in "WindowsStartup"
• Today plugins – SafeMode 2 disables all Today plugins, replacing it with it’s own interface, as a reminder you’re running in SafeMode
• Input methods – all non-standard Input methods (custom keyboards etc) are disabled
• Pocket Internet Explorer plugins (such as MultiIE)
• Other extensions, found in system registry

Thanks to Menneisyys for the heads-up on this new release of SafeMode 2 – in this post at Aximsite.
