Connectivity
>> Remote Desktop Protocol
Windows Embedded Standard provides the latest version of Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP 6.1) to help enable Windows Embedded Standard-based thin clients, point of service devices, and multifunction printers to connect using the latest version of Windows Server remote computing technologies. RDP helps you use the new Terminal Services (TS) features and updates introduced in Windows Vista such as Network Level Authentication, Server authentication, resource redirection, TS gateway servers, monitor spanning, and other visual improvements.
>> Security & Management
Standard includes security and management technologies to help embedded devices to easily connect to take advantage of new features in Windows Server 2008 like Network Access Protections (NAP). NAP is a policy enforcement platform built into Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 to better protect network assets by enforcing compliance with system health requirements. Using NAP, device makers or enterprises can create custom policies to validate embedded device health before allowing access or communication with the enterprise network.
>> Wi-Fi Protected Access 2
Windows Embedded Standard provides support for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), the latest wireless security solution derived from the IEEE 802.11i standards. WPA2 delivers support for the new Wi-Fi Alliance certification for wireless security, making it easier to connect to secure public spaces that are equipped with wireless Internet access—locations known as “Wi-Fi hotspots.”
>> Enterprise Serviceability and Manageability
Support for Windows Server Update Services, System Center Configuration Manager, and Microsoft Operations Manager helps ensure that Windows Embedded Standard supports enterprise-class manageability of both operating system and application-level updates, helping enterprises to protect, manage, and monitor devices within existing IT infrastructures.
>> Microsoft Silverlight
Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of media experiences and rich interactive applications (RIAs) for the Web that incorporate video, animation, interactivity, and stunning user interfaces.
>> Windows Internet Explorer 7
Windows Internet Explorer 7 comes with improved navigation and search, improved printing, and access to RSS feeds. Dynamic security protection provided by a robust new architecture helps defend against malware and phishing. Windows Internet Explorer 7 also provides an improved platform for Web development and manageability through support for CSS, RSS, and enterprise deployment and management.
>> Windows Media Player 11
Windows Media Player 11 includes new media features designed to help manage libraries of digital music, photos, and videos. Windows Media Player 11 automatically converts media files—even protected audio and video files—to optimal quality for smart, connected devices.
>> Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 is the new managed-code programming model for Windows, featuring new technologies for building applications that have a visually compelling user experience, seamless communication across technology boundaries, and support for a wide range of business processes. Some of these new technologies include: Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).

Microsoft introduced exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table, aka FAT64) is a proprietary file system suited especially for flash drives starting with Windows Vista Service Pack 1.
Some advantages of exFAT over FAT32 are:
> Scalability to large disk sizes
> Theoretical file size limit of 16 Exabytes, limit lifted from 4 Gigabytes in FAT16.
> Support for more than 1000 files in a single directory.
> Free space allocation and delete performance improved due to introduction of a free space bitmap.
> Support for access control lists.
> Support for Transaction-Safe FAT File System.
> Provision for OEM-definable parameters to customize the file system for specific device characteristics.
We can’t access exFAT formatted partition or removable devices in all Windows OSs excluding Windows Embedded CE 6.0, Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008. But don’t worry…I have found an solution for this prob. Now atleast you access exFAT formatted partition. I have tried on
Windows XP SP3…and it works flawlessly. It may work on earlier version of Windows too.
1) Download exFAT File System Driver
2) Copy exfat.sys and uexfat.dll into %windir%\System32\Drivers and %windir%\System32 respectively.
3) Copy the Reg code, given below into Notepad and Save as exFAT.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\exfat]
“Description”=”exFAT File System Driver”

I have recieved an email from my friend that he is facing some problem with INI associatation. The problem is:
“Whenever I try to open any file with extension “.ini” (either by double clicking or open with Notepad), It prompts “The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect”
Same file opens if I open it using wordpad. The problem is occuring with all “.ini” files. If I create a text file, type something and save it with extension .ini, I cant open it by double clicking or by right click and follow Open with >> Notepad.”
Actully It casued by a Virus/Trojon and it can be fixed manully. So I am sharing the solution to fix it.
1) Open Registry Editor (Type regedit in Start Search or Run Dialog box)
2) Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\inifile\shell\open\command
3) Now set its (Default) value to: %SystemRoot%\system32\Notepad.exe %1
If it doesn’t work…Copy the following Registry Code in notepad and save as FixINI.REG and double click to patch it.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ini]

The main reason of Autorun is to offer an app response to hardware actions that start on a computer. Autorun (Autoplay) feature is typically called from removable media like CD/DVDs and USB drives. During AutoPlay, the Autorun.inf file from the media is parsed. This file specifies which commands the system runs. Most of CD/DVD’s Installers and other removable devices use this functionality to start setup.
So here is an article that helps you enable or disable autorun functionality for specific devices.
1.) Open Registry Editor (Type regedit in Start Search or Run Dialog Box and press ENTER)
2.) Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\
3.) Now look for NoDriveTypeAutoRun, a DWORD registry value and set its value as you desired to control autorun (autoplay) function for specific devices.
| HEX | Decimal | Action |
| 1 | 1 | Disables AutoPlay on drives of unknown type |
| 4 | 4 | Disables AutoPlay on removable drives |
| 8 | 8 | Disables AutoPlay on fixed drives |
| 10 | 16 | Disables AutoPlay on network drives |
| 20 | 32 | Disables AutoPlay on CD-ROM drives |
| 40 | 64 | Disables AutoPlay on RAM disks |
| 80 | 128 | Disables AutoPlay on drives of unknown type |
| FF | 255 | Disables AutoPlay on all kinds of drives |
You can disable multiple devices by adding their values, like if you wanna disable CD-ROMs and Removable devices only.
Just add 4+32 = 36 (In Decimal) and 4+20=24 (In Hex) and set the resultant value.
