I had this same question. When I run my WINCE 5.0 image (on the emulator, I
haven't got it to run on my MX21 development board yet), all the files (.exe,
.jpg, .wmv, .lnk) I added to the run-time image are hidden when viewing the
My Device -> Windows folder. To see them I have to do a View -> Folder
Options and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)".
These "default" folder options also include View -> Large Icons. All of this
should be configurable in the run-time image. How would I change the
"default" to be View -> Details for example? Or View -> Folder Options ->
NOT (unchecked) Hide file extensions?

I also have not yet been successful putting these files (like the shortcuts)
I included in the runtime image to appear initially on the "desktop" when the
image runs. I can manually do this once the image is running. Any tips to
start in a particular (default) configuration state?

Generally the way is to use the remote registry tool to export the registry,
then make your changes and export the registry again. Diff the two files
and add the changes to your platform or project.reg files.

Thanks, the idea sounds simple enough. However where is the "remote registry
tool"? I am not familar with this tool.

Is it the tool referred to in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/01/06/PPC/default.aspx as "You can
access this registry through the Windows CE Remote Registry tool available
from the eMbedded Visual C++ IDE. "?

If so I can't get at that until I have built an SDK - without which the
eVC++ won't even come up, which while I have built and run a CE image, I
can't get the SDK to build and have addressed that on other threads on this
site.

Thanks for your replay!
I use the tools/Remote Registry Editor from PB5.0 IDE, and exported the
registry as a file; then I changed just one folder option, and reexported
the registry as another file. But I found the first is 290KB size, and the
second is 401KB size; When I compared the two file throuth UltraEdit-32, and
found there's lots of difference between them, why?

Best regards,
Jack Zhao

The sort of the icon in explorer (CE 4.2) is initialized in a static global
variable, with a hard coded value. So when you boot, the sort will always be
the same. The sort is kept as long as you don't shut down your device, and
as long as you have the same instance of explorer, that is always the case.
But for instance, if you kill the explorer.exe process through PB and launch
a new one (in fact, this is done automatically when you shut it down), you
will have the defaults settings for icon sorts but not the one you have
modified.

So the only way to keep the sort would be customizing the public CESHELL
code

Select My Device/View/Options, then the Folder Options Dialog appeares.
In the Folder Options Dialog, there's Advanced Settings, including:
Do not show hidden files and folders
Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)
Hide file extensions

All these options are checked by default, can I set their default value when
making nk.bin?

Have you looked in the **Tools** menu or in PB Help?

Try it again. I have never seen results like that.
