Thank you, this is OK now. But the second part worked only when
I connected the PDA to the PC under the same user as the one I 'was'
when installing the thing on the PC - i.e. the one I've defined with
admin rights (I have defined 3 users on my WinXPhome PC, 2 without,
1 with admin rights; this one and one of those are both 'me' in fact)
- I wonder if this means essentially that both users have to be
identical or that this type of install. on the PDA needs admin rights
.... or both !

Another question: is the 'converse' true ? I mean: if I'd later
uninstall the NetCF again from the PC, would this also uninstall it
from the PDA when I connect it afterwards to the PC (as admin user,
which I probably will seldom do again) ? After all, it seems that
these about 60 MB installed on the PC are now useless on it
(any PC appl. using such a thing would need the normal .net framework,
not the compact one, I think) - except if I'd use a PDA emulator on
the PC (I understand that such emulators exist, but who uses them ?
probably practically only PDA software developers, and I don't intend
to become one)

BTW how do I create an entry in the startmenu of the PDA for
the appl. using this dotnet-thing ? I have installed it - but not the
NetCF ! - on my 2GB SanDisk (instead of the PDA main memory);
there are so many files there, only for this appl. until now, and
for the moment I must seek the exe file among them all to start
the appl.! (At the hotlines of the PDA producer and its vendor
they were not able to tell me.) Is this impossible if the exe file
is not in the main memory ? (The menu manager does not show it.)

But how do it use this ? (...)
