If you change the background image of the desktop (right click desktop,
click properties) on the CE device, and save the registry, then reboot,
is the background image still the same as before the boot?
In other words: does persistent registry work? Without it neither will
saving passwords. Also don't specify both MasterKeyFileDir and
MasterKeysInRegistry. It's either or.
My advice to you is: Get hive based registry going first, before you try
to solve this issue. If you have any problems getting hive registry
going just post a detailed problem description and what you tried and
did on this newsgroup and I'm sure me or somebody else will help you
getting it going.
Good luck,
