Windows CE Operating System

Windows CE is the smallest member of the Windows operating system family using the Windows 95 interface. What exactly does smallest mean? It means mobility and portability provided through a reduced code base. This code base is completely 32-bit; it is multithreaded, multitasking and runs on different processors such as the NEC VR4121 MIPS processor.

Your MobilePro does not have a hard disk drive. The operating system and preloaded applications are deployed on a Read-Only Memory (ROM) module; files that you work on are stored in Random Access Memory (RAM) on a RAM module.

Linking with your host PC to synchronize your data enhances the power of Windows CE.. For more information about setting up your MobilePro for synchronization, see the section in Chapter 1, “Connecting to Your PC.”

Using Windows CE

Windows CE is similar to Windows 95. However, some actions are executed differently, as indicated in the following sections.

Tapping

Your NEC MobilePro comes with a stylus, a pen-like device that allows you to touch, tap, or double tap objects on the MobilePro touch screen. The touch, tap, and double tap act just like a point, click, and double click of a mouse.

To simulate the click of the right mouse button, hold down the Alt key while you tap or drag the object with the stylus.

Finally, never use a metal object in place of the stylus. Metal objects may scratch the surface of the touch screen.

Selecting Objects

You can select objects in Windows CE by tapping the object(s) with the stylus. To select multiple contiguous items, hold down the Shift key while tapping the first and last items. To select multiple non-contiguous items, hold down the Ctrl key while tapping each item.
