desktop background

I have a desktop background on my wince device, I set it up in the startup
application by setting the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Desktop
Wallpaper: \windows\mybackground.bmp

The problem I have is that the wince default background comes up for a
couple of seconds before my background does. How can I prevent this? All I
want to see is my background.

If you can change the platform, put that key in your project.reg file.
If you can't you may avoid the startup folder and put your application
inside the HKLM\Init subkey. Don't put any reference to GWES or sell
APIs inside it and you will be able to start it immediately after the
file system manager, writing your key before the shell (that handles
the desktop background) will read it.
