Re: Sharing folders in Windows CE 5.0



Hi Don,

You can do this by creating the necessary registry settings and adding them to your project.reg file before you create your image.

Here are the links:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms899601.aspx

Reading the full-thread it seems that you were having problems with this. Please let me know if you are unable to configure server still with this information and where you are getting stuck.

Also, what file sharing scenario are you trying to get working? CE to CE, XP to CE?

Thanks,
Alexander T. Bussmann [MSFT]

Hi Ryan.

I was wondering if you have made any progress on this issue. This issue has
now become my top priority. I would really appreciate any help you can give.

Don,

I am unable to provide an answer for you regarding your query. I'll
continue to look into it and try to find a solution.

For now, I would suggest you set your file server up using the RemoteAdmin
utility. Make sure your device is set to load an existing image (as oppose
to downloading a new image every time) and not clearing the registry hive
when reset. This will ensure the changes you make to your image remain
intact. These should be options in your devices bootloader or if you are
always connected to Platform Builder change the following Core Service
Settings in the Connectivity Options: Under "Download Image" to "Never (jump
to image only)" and under "KITL Settings", uncheck "Clear memory on reset"
