Windows CE 5.0 allows you to add further programs to the Control Panel. This requires an entry to be
made in the registry which defines the path on which the additional programs are stored.

Example:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Micro Innovation\UserCpl]
"userCplDir"="\\StorageCard\\cpl"

After this entry is added to the registry, all *.exe files in the directory \StorageCard\cpl are also
displayed in the Control Panel.
