pure console shell?

[Maverick]

Hi,all

I want to build a console based XPE to be used on a black box. I tried
command shell component, but it still can switch to the standard shell. So
does XPE support a pure command shell that I could do configurations like ip
address settings and protocal bindings, etc?

Thx.

Maverick,

I'm not sure I understand the question totally. Can you give us some more
info?

I tried command shell component, but it still can switch to the standard

shell.
For example typing explorer.exe at the command prompt brings up the
explorer application? If so just remove the explorer application component.

So does XPE support a pure command shell that I could do configurations

like ip address settings and protocal bindings, etc?
Adding components under the Software>System>Networking And
Communications>Applications like "net.exe utility", and "TCP/IP Utilities"
should do the trick.

What I mean is that I want to use XPE like a UNIX terminal and I don't want
to show the desktop or other graphic windows. So all the configurations
should be done on the command window. Is that possible?

Hi Maverick,

So all the configurations should be done on the command window.

It's according to what "all the configurations" means whether the answer
is yes or no. Anything that can be done from a command line in XP Pro can
also be accomplished in XPe. (diskpart, ping, net.exe, as examples) There
are other utilities like DevCon that allow for Device Manager functions from
the command line or Reg.exe for adding / modifying / removing registry data.
These too can be added to an image. You can also write console apps for
functions that you need but aren't there. If you don't like the blue default
desktop color try some of these tips...
