Windows CE 5.0 contains a production-quality RGUI that provides end users with easy access to setup, administration, and application and service configuration options. The RGUI is Web-based and builds on familiar Windows experiences, making it intuitive to users. Since the RGUI is shipped in source code, device manufacturers, service providers, and enterprises can easily modify the RGUI to better meet user requirements for a customized device.
The RGUI Catalog item includes a set of HTML pages that can be used for gateway devices. Functionality includes providing a wizard framework for initial setup and common tasks. The UI also provides support for common user tasks, such as parental control, setting up the firewall, security settings and configuring advanced features.
