Windows CE maps the bottom section of memory into 33, 32Mb slices referred to as ‘slots’. The lowest slot is used for the currently running process (the process is mapped into slot 0, not copied!), and other low slots are used for system processes as follows (this is how it appears on my casio e-100): Slot 0: current running process Slot 1: NK.EXE (kernel) Slot 2: Filesys.exe (file system – object store, registry, ceDB etc) Slot 3: Device.exe (device manager) Slot 4: Shell32.exe (Windows CE shell) 5 slots are used, leaving 28 remaining slots for user processes.
