Internet Appliance Design Template (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
You can use the Internet Appliance design template as a starting point for an Internet appliance. An Internet appliance is a non-mobile, browser-based device.
Overview
As a fixed device, an Internet appliance supports a mouse and keyboard design that uses a CRT or LCD display. This design template also supports the Windows Embedded CE Standard Shell and applications that you can customize or substitute for a browser-based user interface (UI).
Use the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard in Platform Builder to create a starting point for an Internet appliance, and then customize the operating system (OS) design to fit your needs. The Catalog items that you use to configure your OS design can vary.
This design template resembles the Enterprise Web Pad design template.**
Security Issues
For information about security issues that can affect an Internet Appliance OS design, see the following topics:
- ActiveSync Registry Settings
- Authentication Services Security
- Cryptography Security
- Internet Explorer Embedded Security
- Windows Media Player Control Security
- Windows Messenger Security
- Windows Networking API/Redirector Security
Internet Appliance Catalog Items
The Internet Appliance design template is located in the Industrial Device category in the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard.
By default, when you use the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard to create an OS design based on the Internet Appliance design template, Platform Builder includes a specific set of Catalog items in the OS design.
After you finish with using the Windows Embedded CE OS Design Wizard, you can add other Catalog items to your OS design. For more information, see Adding an Item from the Catalog.
