Dear Experts,

How to include the taskman shell in WindowsCE 5.0?

In WindowsCE 4.2, I can set the environment variable "__SYSGEN_TASKMAN"
to 1 to include the taskman shell environment, but the same way doesn't work
in WindowsCE 5.0.

According to MSDN documents on how to custimize shell, I have tried the
following way to include taskman shell in WindowsCE 5.0,but failed.
1) Copy the files and directories in
%_WINCEROOT%\PUBLIC\WCESHELLFE\OAK\TASKMAN to
%_WINCEROOT%\PUBLIC\Shell\OAK\TASKMAN
2) Replace the existing codes in the dirs file with DIRS=TASKMAN
3) Assign the variable BUILD_OPTIONS to TASKMAN
4) Add following codes in project.reg
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init]
     "Launch50"="taskman.exe"
     "Depend50"=hex:14,00, 1e,00
5) Mask the sentence "INCLUDES=..\stubs" with comment in
%_WINCEROOT%\PUBLIC\Shell\OAK\TASKMAN\sources file. Otherwise, it cannot be
compiled successfully.
As a result, this platform can be built successfully. But there're black
screen when the platform is attached.

Could you give me some advice?

Thanks & Best Regards,

Arthur
