I've bought the AytoBe from Maplins also.

I've spent about an hour playing and so far managed to get the Windows CE desktop to come up.

1) connect AyToBe via Active Sync
2) take a backup copy of the the file \flash_storage\Autorun.inf file to a folder on your PC and keep it safe. Make another copy to edit somewhere else.
3) Edit the copy of Autorun.inf to now say
navigation = \Windows\explorer.exe
4) Copy this back to the \flash_storage\ folder
5) perform a reboot with the switch on the back
6) Hey presto, the device drops into the Windows CE desktop.

When you press the menu button on the AyToBe (top right) it shows the 3 button app launcher (malata.exe) with Navigation / Music / Setting buttons. If you now tap the navigation button, it goes back into Window but this time it runs Windows Explorer - you dont get the desktop.

This is as far as I got - very simple - nothing too complicated.

I'd like to know how to get the desktop to come up when I press the navigation button - not sure how to do this yet. I assume maybe somehow got to kill/end/close the malata.exe app - not sure how?

Also, there is no taskbar / start at the bottom - so I need to find out how to get this working.

Ideally, I'd be happy with it opening the desktop and having some shortcuts there for my apps.

I guess this AyToBe device will run MPEG video players as well....?

Does anyone know of a way of entering text into the Windows CE .NET 4.2 OS - is there a piece of software that pops up a keyboard to use with the stylus?

Cheers,

[Darren]
