Is it possible to have my CF 2.0 Win CE 5.0 application run as the shell?

I would still need to provide access to network config.

I'm not sure how all of this fits together???

Your CF app will never be the shell but you can have the sole UI for your
user being your app.

Make your app start on boot time:

Make it full screen non-movable/resizable (see the form properties
broderstyle, min/maxbutton, controlbox, windowstate etc).

As for showing the control panel applets (e.g. network config), if it is
just 1-3 of them I would replicate them in the app (just "steal" the UI
design and interact with the registry).

If you are building the OS image with platform builder post in the
platformbuilder ng for more details on how to get rid of the existing shell
(or at least trim it down)...
