Notification Interaction with a Shell (Windows CE 5.0)
By default, the notification subsystem interacts with a shell. The notification subsystem must check for the availability of a shell before calling any shell-related APIs, for example, Shell_NotifyIcon and ShellExecuteEx. The notification subsystem maintains a global variable, g_fShellAPI, which contains the status of the shell.
