I am trying to create a Windows Embedded image that will load up and boot
start into Remote Desktop or Citrix ICA to connect to a Citrix server. Does
anyone have a "how to" document to set up a simple thin client that will boot
up, and lauch remote desktop or citrix to connect to a terminal server...

sorry for the dumb questions, i am a newbie
 
Tim,

XPe documentation online has a few thin client links. Also, there are some articles on the subject available.
Here is one from Sean and John: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa460109.aspx

As to the launch for the RD. You can either have the Terminal Service Client set up as a shell or, if you prefer, you can set up an
automatic launch (via Run key or etc.) for the mstsc.exe. That executable (the RDP client itself) takes a command line so you can
launch it remotely connected.
 
One thing on launching Citrix or RDP as the shell, is you might want a delay
for network services to load. Explorer.exe has built in delays, but when it
is not the shell, one could get some unexpected behavior.
