Check if the device just have been hard reset

[Eugene]

Is it possible to check if the Windows CE 4.2 device was hard reset after the
previous launch of the program so the program could restore some system
parameters on that condition? Let's assume that the program is installed on
flash, so it wont be deleted on reset.

And no, unfortunatelly it is impossible not to check for that hypothetical
"hard reset flag" and restore them at each run as process of restoring
requires a soft reset.

Thank you in advance for any ideas.

You could check for the number of soft resets performed. There is some
value in the registry that gets increased each time the soft reset is
invoked (which is rumored to be quite often on Windows devices *d&r*)

Check the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM]
BootCount = ??
