    This is worth writing up a slashdot story for, but don't do http for the file, please make torrents instead, and host it on something like a suprnova torrent tracker. That should take the load.

    Also, make sure you disable windows help.

    Help has little things in it that say "open xyz for me" where xyz is add/remove programs, or whatever.

    Also, getting to the C: is surpisingly easy. If you go to the properties of a shortcut, and click find target, typically you're in. You just need to find the right shortcut.

    They both work even when the items they open up to (xyz, and c:) are disabled with policy editor.

    If the resolution on the video is greater than 480p, you lose quality on the s-vid. Your only other options are to get a tv with dvi or vga inputs, or use the ati -> component video (Y Gr Br, i believe). Mind you, it requries an ati card.

  25. Before it gets /.'d on On Microsoft's Embedded DevCon Keynote · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Jun. 29, 2004[Updated 10:00pm PDT] -- Microsoft formally inaugurated its 2004 Embedded Developers' Conference (DevCon) this morning in San Diego, with a keynote talk by Tom Adams, General Manager of the Windows CE Platforms group. Adams briefly reviewed the enormous diversity of present and future smart devices, and outlined Microsoft's strategy of offering low cost, reliable, and easy-to-use development tools and software for smart devices. The keynote also included demonstrations of new Windows CE and Windows XP Embedded development tools and technologies, and of devices based on them, as well as some entertaining videos.Adams noted that Microsoft has recently combined its embedded and mobile operations into a single group, the Mobile and Embedded Devices division, which includes the following product and technology categories: * Embedded devices * Mobile devices * Portable media centers * Windows Automotive * Communications sector * Map point * Voice control The Mobile and Embedded Devices Group is one of Microsoft's seven major divisions. "Being one of these seven divisions within Microsoft means that we receive leadership right from the top. We have sitdowns with Bill Gates around where we're taking our technology, what are the strategies we need to put in place, and what are new features that we should be enabling in all of our embedded offerings," Adams said.Some key accomplishments of Windows Embedded during the last year mentioned by Adams include the growth of the Windows Embedded Partner program to over 2,500 member companies; exponential growth in China, Taiwan, and India; the existence of 131 Windows Mobile and Embedded MVPs ("most valuable professionals"); substantial growth in the Windows Embedded Community; and thousands of customer design wins. Additionally, Adams showed a slide that said that both Gartner and VDC, embedded market analyst firms, report that Microsoft's Windows Embedded OSes were #1 in market share in the embedded operating system market in 2003, while both IDC and VDC rated Windows Embedded #1 in revenue for the period 2001 through 2003.He emphasized the importance of yesterday's announcement that all developers, worldwide will be able to use modified Windows CE 5.0 shared source code in commercial products -- without needing to sublicense the modifications back to Microsoft -- and briefly discussed the significance of that capability to optimizing and differentiating smart devices.Adams also offered a brief glimpse of the Windows Embedded product roadmap for the next two years:Windows Embedded RoadmapNow 2005+Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Edition MagnetoWindows CE 5.0 12-18 months to next major releaseWindows XP Embedded SP1, SP2 Longhorn EmbeddedVisual Studio .NET Visual Studio 2005The keynote included several entertaining videos. One showed a "space rover" robot developed at the California Polytechnic State University ("Cal Poly"), pictured on the left, which uses Windows CE as its embedded OS. Another was a light-hearted, documentary-style look inside Microsoft at the history of Windows Embedded and some of its customers -- "we asked Michael Moore to do it but he was busy, so our marketing team threw this together," Adams said.During the keynote, Mike Hall, Technical Product Manager for the Windows Mobile and Embedded Platforms, treated the attendees to a snappy demo of building a Windows CE 5.0 OS image and downloading it into a smart picture frame. Platform Builder 5 sure seems easy-to-use -- at least in the expert hands of Hall. There's a video on Microsoft's Channel 9 website, Hall says, showing some of what he demonstrated online, with more to appear there soon. One really cool feature of the project is the ability to drag/drop picture files from a PC directly into the pictures directory in the picture frame, just like copying files from one PC to a shared directory on another. This makes use of new remote access technology in Windows CE 5.0, Hall said.A sneak preview of Windows XP Embedded Service Pack 2 (SP2) was skillfully p
