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...

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



Enter Name's for Company and whatever cab your making



Just Click Next..



Just Click Next Again....



And now click finish...



Now this should be what you have. Displays all info for cab file



Now we need to add the files.
From windows explorer just click and drag the files right on top of Files...



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



Click Location tab
Here you can choose what directory to put file(s) in. you can also add a new folder
Click Ok



Now back at main screen

I recommend compressing for files over a meg or two



From the menu click CABINET...PROPERTIES...
Here you can change ALL properties of cab file







Click OK...
Back at the Main Screen...
All left to do is review and Save



You can also add Shortcuts and make changes to the registry...
