Anton D. Nagy from pocketnow.com recently posted an interesting hack. If you need to auto launch an application on your PC once your pocket pc is connected to your Desktop or Notebook (docking) this hack will allow you to do that.
You need to edit your PCs registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AutoStartOnConnect
Right Click to select New, String Value and choose a name for it (if doesnt matter what name you choose). Double Click the newly created String to edit it and in the Value data box, enter the full path of the application you want to autostart (i.e.: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Outlook.exe). The application will start automatically the next time you will dock your Device.
To launch an application when disconnecting your device, follow the same procedure, only this time edit the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AutoStartOnDisconnect
