Ah ok thank you. I also found this site, looks like they're explaining alot of stuff about W7E (Contextual Related Posts under the article). Looks helpfull to beginners like myself. http://www.ditii.com/2009/09/10/windows-embedded-standard-2011-toolkit-introducing-image-configuration-editor-ice-and-image-builder-wizard-ibw/ Haven't started looking at the videos yet since I'm currently watching Germany - Spain, but will take a closer look later on.

I have absolutely no experience what so ever so it's all sort of confusing as most of the info I can fins is for Windows Embedded XP. I asked in the MSDN forum aswell and it should be possible, here is the anser I got there: But then I found this: Custom Shell in Windows Embedded Standard 7 Which mentions a separate tool called "shell launcher" that looks like something that should make the job even easier. But I have no idea how to access that tool. As I said I'm completely new to embedded, so I have not yet figgured out how it works compared to normal Windows when it comes to installation of programs and deployment.

I got my trial copy from here. And it seems as if they've gotten some more info on their sites now: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/community/spark/default.mspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsembedded/standard/default.aspx So I guess I'll start there. But have any of you had any experience with Windows Embedded and know wether or not it's possible for someone without any experience and dive in an do what I want?

I currently have the WE Standard.

Hi, I'm really interested in HTPCs and when Microsoft recently released Windows 7 embedded which has a "Media Center" mode that boots up straight into Windows Media Center I wanted to see if it was possible to do the same with other front ends such as Mediaportal, Meedios and XBMC, but searching the web I can't really find any information on where to start and what to do. Are there any guides or books on the subject, or is such a project simply too big for a person to begin with?
