Introduction
The CE .NET-based terminal offers greater user flexibility than
previous CE .NET products because it can be used from the Explorer
shell (desktop), used strictly with the HP Connection Administrator,
or further locked down into Kiosk mode.
This guide provides the network administrator with instructions for
local and remote configuration of the CE .NET-based terminal and
explains the various utilities used to accomplish this. Typically, a
terminal is configured locally then used as a template for other
terminals, which can then be configured via remote administration
tools.
Server and application connections can be created through the HP
Connection Window or the HP Connection Administrator. A
connection created with one utility will also be available for editing
and configuring in the other utility. Although you can create and edit
connections with either utility, only HP Connection Administrator
provides the functionality to create failover connection groups and set
up user profiles. HP Connection Administrator is also used to
determine the start mode and user interface for the terminal.
Chapters in this guide are specific to the desktop interface, the HP
Connection Window utility, the HP Connection Administrator utility,
and all the programs in the Control Panel.
Image Updates
HP provides periodic updates to the image for the HP Compaq t5300,
t5500 and t5510 thin clients. Check the HP support site for important
documentation that provides specific information for your image
version. Support documentation can be found at

The Desktop
The Microsoft Windows CE .NET image includes an Explorer shell
(desktop) that resembles the typical Windows desktop features that
should be familiar to most users of desktop computers. The desktop
includes a taskbar, start menu, shortcut icons, and a background
image.
The desktop has the typical desktop functionality. To change the
display settings, right-click on the desktop and select Properties from
the pop-up list. This brings up the Display Properties dialog where
you can make changes to the background, appearance, resolution and
color quality settings, and screen saver.
You can change the background image to one of your own preference,
but the image must be a .bmp format.
If you change the screen resolution setting, you must reboot for the
✎
change to take effect. If you do not know if the screen resolution
mode you selected is supported by your monitor, click the Tes t button
on the Display Properties Settings tab.
2
You can also access the Display Properties dialog box through the
✎
Control Panel. Refer to the “Display” section in Chapter 5, “Control
Panel” for more information on making changes to the display
properties.
Taskbar
The taskbar includes a Start button, active task buttons (currently
running programs), and a notification area (system tray).
Administrator’s Guide www.hp.com 2-1
The Desktop
Start Menu
Icons
By default, the taskbar is automatically hidden. You must move the
pointer to the bottom of the screen to bring up the taskbar. If you want
to change it so that the taskbar is always displayed, right-click on the
taskbar, select Properties, and clear the Auto hide check box.
Open the Start menu by clicking the Start button on the taskbar. The
Start menu includes a Programs list, a Settings list, a Run dialog, and
a Shut Down dialog.
The icons on the desktop are shortcuts to programs that include HP
Connections for Citrix Software, Internet Explorer, and RDP. You
can also add icons for shortcuts to connections that have been created
by right-clicking on the connection icon in the HP Connection
Window utility and selecting Send to Desktop.
To launch a program or connection from the desktop, double-click the
respective icon.
Due to Windows CE .NET architecture, properties for the programs
✎
on the desktop can not be changed from the desktop. In other words,
if you right-click on a desktop icon and select Properties, the
property values for that program can not be changed. Only property
values for the shortcut can be changed.

HP Connections for Citrix Software
The HP Connection for Citrix Software utility provides a quick and
easy means of creating new Web, RDP, TEC, and ICA connections.
You can also delete and edit connections, as well as create desktop
shortcuts for connections.
Connections can also be established through the HP Connection
✎
Administrator utility. If a Connection is created in HP Connection
Window, it will also appear in HP Connection Administrator.
Likewise, if a Connection is created in HP Connection Administrator,
it will also appear in HP Connection Window.
The HP Connection Window utility is launched when the terminal
boots. It is also available in the Start menu (Start > Programs > HP
Connections for Citrix Software) and as a shortcut icon on the
desktop.
Creating a New Connection
The upper section of the window contains icons for the various types
of connections you can make and an icon that launches HP
Connection Administrator. The lower section contains all the
connections that have been created.
To create a new connection, do one of the following:
■ Double-click the icon in the top section of the window that
corresponds with the type of connection you want to make.
Follow the instructions in the Wizard or dialog that is displayed.
