Wow that's awesome. Do you have any more details on this? I'd like to do exactly the same thing.

It isn't the original version of Microsoft Device Emulator, it's a mod that allow me to close the program without resetting COM's settings. So the next time you open the program, you don't need to set all the Serial Port settings.
Yu can PM me for details of this program!
When i opened the first time the device emulator, i setted the resolution with the dimension of the box in the skin.
Then, i made a little script in Visual Basic that opens the device emulator, and 3 seconds later opens the "MoveWindow" script made by SkyNet (LINK) that moves the device emulator to the correct position to fit the skin...
Another thing I made in the script: at the start, it controls if there's already an istance of the device emulator. So, if the device emulator is already opened, my script only runs the "MoveWindow" script.
When I have 5 minutes, i'll make a screenshot of the runnig script when it's opening the device emulator (a black screen with the TomTom logo, and a progress bar) and another one while it is restoring the emulator (the logo with a label "restoring navigator")
:boris:
