This How To will show you step by step how to create a cab file.

You can cab up anything you want to put on your phone in ANY directory...

Cab Manager Program

I use and recommend WinCE Cab Manager (Get it HERE)
it has a 30 day free trial and is $99 after that...
Sure there are more out there... Feel free to Post

Getting Started

First you will need a file to cab. We will start with a basic single manila file.
i have attached one if you don't already have..
* Here you can simply add a document/picture to your my documents folder

Open WinCE Cab Manager

Once you do that the following dialog box pops up...
Here you can change name or attributes

Now back at main screen
Here you can "Allow Uninstall"

I recommend compressing for files over a meg or two

Here you can change ALL properties of cab file
