Re: Mozilla Windows CE Development

First- wonderful! Thanks! I've been looking forward to this day for
quite a while.  A couple quick issues:

1. On a VGA Pocket PC in real-VGA mode, the minimo window only takes up
~240x320, not the full screen.  I imagine this would be a problem for
folks even with QVGA PPCs, running it in landscape mode.
2. Minimo doesn't seem to quit. In the end, I had to reboot.
3. Can't wait til we have tabs- then I can think about retiring
NetFront and ftxBrowser. :)

Putting an app in the Start Menu is easy. You just put a shortcut to
the executable (or the executable itself, but that is poor practice) in
the "\Windows\Start Menu" folder.

On Pocket PC/Windows Mobile, it is more appropriate to put the app not
into the Start Menu, but into the "Programs" launcher.  This is very
similar- just place a shortcut or executable in "\Windows\Start
Menu\Programs". On Pocket PC, the Start Menu is something the user
maintains, picking which apps to put there out of what they have in the
Programs launcher.

On vanilla WinCE, the practice is that you do put it in "\Windows\Start
Menu", not the .\Programs folder.   One thing to keep in mind.

There are programmatic ways to do this, naturally. One is by just
creating the shortcut file, which is pretty easy. There is also a
Windows API call IIRC that will do this, but this piece I do not have.

It would probably be easy to use a CAB Maker, tutorial here:
