Hi,

There are two thing i would like to know.
1. How can i prevent the shell (is it called Explorer too on PPC?) too
launch after soft-reset and start a other program.

2. If the user is already in explorer, how can i make it that if he
turns the device off, and then on again that my program starts again
and terminates explorer.

I've read something about question #1 on usenet and there should be a
registry key.

Muchos thanks!
Steven

Apologies if I am wrong, but I believe what you are really looking for is to
write a "kiosk" application. Some links to that are here (under point 5):

The article you found is not directly linked from my page (but from one of
the links). If that is exactly what you want to do, you'll need to use
native code.

Here is one more on kiosk for you (will append it to my existing links
shortly):

Ok. The problem is i am rather new in the world of programming for
devices (i DO have experience with PHP etc.). So i do not really know
how i can make a .cpl of my application. Or is it just possible to
rename my file?

No problem with being new, we all were once.

Like I said you need to use native code (i.e. not C# or VB).

Your first place for looking up thing like this are MSDN. A quick search for
"cpl" points us here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...nel_dlldef.asp

Searching this newsgroup usually revelas similar questions:
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...3f7a4177fef2dc

Also once you find a good site try searching it further.
For example the one you visited already has this:
http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/c...nelapplet.html

...the blog I pointed you to in my previous message also has this:
http://blogs.msdn.com/marcpe/archive...22/495780.aspx

Good luck!

Cheers
Daniel
