The documentation that comes with PB 5.0 is outdated! After struggling with
registry and other settings as described in the mentioned documentation
(Help file), and searching on the internet, I found the PB documentation is
based on CE 4.2 and NOT suitable for 5.0.
The documentation on msdn.microsoft.com is of a newer version with many
corrections.

example:

help://MS.WindowsCE.500/wcedata5/html/wce50oriStorageManagerRegistrySettings.htm

while

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wcedata5/html/wce50oristoragemanagerregistrysettings.asp

mentions the MountFlags registry settings are deprecated in WinCE 5.0

Microsoft, Please don't sell us products with inaccurate documentation!

Kind regards,

Arthur Kater

Oops... I took the wrong example: That one is correct in original
documentation...

Do you have the help "QFE" updates installed? There have been some updates
to the docs. (And will continue to be!) MSDN online is updated first and the
PB files are rolled out as a set on a regular basis.
