Here is a quick tip for newbies (myself included):
Once you have the full blown CE shell in place, you can pop up contextual menus by hitting ALT (on either the soft keybd or an external USB keyboard) and clicking with the pen. This is the quickest way to empty the recycle bin or to create a shortcut to a program or file. It's the equivalent to "right-click" in the windows world. (an alternative to this is to hit Alt-Control, in that order.)
Also- try control-click (to select one at a time in a list) and shift-click (select en masse a group). You can also pop up a contextual menu at any time by hitting alt, then ctrl (it does not work if you do it the other way around).
Other shortcuts:
start menu----> control- escape
Exit program, back to filestor.exe----> Alt-Escape
File menu: Alt-F
Edit Menu: Alt-e
View Menu: Alt V
Favorites: Alt A
Close window: Control-W
Cut, Copy, Paste: Control-X, Control-C, Control-V (of course)
Go back a window- delete key
In other words, most of the shortcuts you may or may remember for windows 9x will work with the epods under WinCE 2.12
