IE Shell

[J.K.A.]

I`m not that mouch of an embedded expert but have tryed to build a STB that
schould be able to play video using WMP9 and flash using flash player 7.

I have the STB up and running and now i would like to replace the Explorer
Shell by IE Shell.

The STB is going to show an html page with embedded WMP9 and other
elements.

It this possible?

And could anyone give me an example og how to build the IE Shell component
in details?

Regards

If I were you I would build my own shell in eg. C++ or C# which would
be nothing more than an application with one form with an embedded IE
component inside it, and let it point to local html files from code.

Then use the directions in MSDN to replace the default xpe shell. I
tried this and it works ok.

Maybe more simple:

Create shell following MSDN directions (shell prototype, group
memberships etc...), and instead of your own application shell, use
iexplore.exe as executable. That should work
too, but you'd have to type the url's yourself.
