Hi,
I have some questions about the configuration of my platform:

1. I want to add a menu to my application from where a user can assign a
static IP address to the CEPC and connect this device to a LAN. I'm not
using hive-based registry so any modification I make from the control panel
disappears on a power off. I want to by-pass using control panel by using my
own menu and saving the assigned values in a settings file to use each time
the platform is booted. How can I programmatically do this? Which APIs
should I use? (or which keyword combination for google :)

2. I don't want the user to access various folders of my platform. Basically
the user shouldn't go further than the desktop, but some folders containing
settings files are more important. How can I set permissions to these
folders? Do they permanently remain disabled for the user, or will I have to
set permissions each time a folder i created? Besides I might show the
contents of a disabled folder from my application so that the user can
navigate between files. Is this possible if a user access is not valid for
that folder?

TIA,

Try search the help for IP Helper; not sure if it's what you want, but may
provide a starting point.

As far as I know access permissions are an NTFS thing, and can't be done
with FAT.
