My $0.01:

I sometimes don't get to the shift key in time, but I have found that
tapping the touch screen twice, then hitting the Escape key several times
after a reset will also quickly get you out of the configuration menus in
Windows CE.
And as for the annoying sounds, I have found that a simple way to stop this
is to plug a cell-phone headset into the audio jack of my MobilePro.

Cheers,
Elijah
