Introduction
This is a comprehensive overview of the directory structure of a typical Handheld PC and Palm-size PC running Windows CE 2.0. Note that Windows CE does not have drive letters like Windows 9x or Windows NT/2000. Also, it supports long file names and subdirectories with spaces. Also, data files stored in internal ram (not flash) are compressed at approximately a 2 to 1 ratio.
