    I've googled around and looked in the help files but only seem to be finding more advanced stuff than what it is I need to do. Using the "USA Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone R2 QVGA" emulator in device emulator manager I can start up the emulator, cradle it, and use Explorer on the host machine to copy in a CAB file, which is the installer for a program I want to test. The problem is the emulated phone itself doesn't seem to have any equivalent of Explorer, so I can't browse to, and run the CAB file. I also can't find anywhere where the start menu shortcuts are kept using explorer on the host. What is the most simple way to run the CAB file on the emulator? This isn't actually for development by the way (though I do have Visual Studio installed) - I just want to try out a few applications in a sandbox environment before installing on my real phone.
