Configure today screen on Windows Mobile 6.5

The following provisioning xml will configure the today screen for Windows Mobile 6.5.  The key is to set enabled = 0 on anything you don't want to show.  The Order param starts at 1 (top of the screen ) and goes up by 1 for each position.  You can skip numbers without anything bad happening.  I use this to set what I don't want to display to high numbers so that they don't conflict with the items I do want to show.  Sample provisioning xml is below.  This will hide Getting Started, Bing, and My Today.  It sets the order high for them to get them out of our way.  It then sets device lock to display at the top of the screen followed by Tasks.  Use a remote registry editor to find the settings you want to change.
