XP EMBEDDED ADMINISTRATION GUIDE
Getting Started
This short administration guide describes some of the unique features of this XP Embedded terminal.
The XP Embedded system is exactly the same as any normal Windows
®
XP Professional installation
aside from a few important areas:
•
The XP Embedded operating system build on this terminal only contains the drivers and.dll’s that
are essential to the operation of the device.
•
The installation is protected from deletion and unauthorized changes by Microsoft’s EWF
subsystem.
•
All temporary files are stored on a RAM disk as flash space is premium.
Use the utilities provided by NEC in order to configure these extra components and systems. More
information about using them is available below.

EWF Manager
What is EWF and How Does it Work?
EWF stands for Enhanced Write Filter. It works by redirecting all writes to the protected areas of a
memory based sub-system where they are held until committed or discarded via a reboot of the
device.
When you purchase the terminal, the EWF system is enabled by default. This prevents any users from
altering settings and applications. If you want to make changes to the terminal configuration, log on as
Administrator
and use the EWF Manager after the changes have been made.
Open EWF Manager by clicking on
Start
, then
Control Pane
l, and finally
Administrative Tools
