Embedded Enabling Features

Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 contains several embedded features which adds additional value, functionality and security to your images.

File Based Write Filter

In opposite to the Enhanced Write Filter the File Based Write filter is a higher level filter driver.
It hooks between the filesystem and the disk. Therefore it is aware of the filesystem which enables additional features.
With the File Based Write Filter you can create exclusions on file and folder level. Data written in these execlusions are written
directly to the disk while all other changes are cached in the RAM overlay.

Registry Filter

The Registry Filter allows to persist key in the Windows Registry even when a filter driver is enabled.
This is important for example for Terminal Server CALs or the Domain Key.

USB Boot

Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 has a special USB driver included which allows booting directly from USB.
You can even select a USB target drive during the setup of Windows Embedded POSReady 2009.

Custom Shell

Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 allows you to customize the user experience by enabling you to brand the system
beginning at the bootlogo, removing the Windows Logonscreen and the setting a custom user shell.
