Customize WinCE 5.0 startup

Hello there,

I am new at Platform builder (using 5.0). I got an image from
manufacture and now I want to customize it.
I would like to add some new files to OS and change look of the OS.

Can someone explain me what and how can I do it..

I would like that user can use only my application, which will
autostart at the begining. Taksbar and icons should be removed...

Can you tel me how to do that or give me some link with examples...

Thanks!

Hi,
To lose explorer and taskbar , create a userproject with basically just a
regfile in it, which contains :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init]
"Launch50"=""
;"Launch50"="explorer.exe"

(or edit the existing regfiles for a quick try, but note that they reside in
places where you shouldn't be editting)
Note that explorer.exe is not removed from the image like this.
(you could still call CreateProcess() on it to start it from your app,
perhaps for debugging ?) If you really want to lose it, remove the current
shell from catalog, or filter the explorer.exe from your BIB files (this will
require some more reading of help I guess)

Add another launch key to start your own app.
Check the help for details (startup-dependencies)

Greetings,
Rob.
