Project Settings: General Tab (Windows CE 5.0)
This tab displays general settings for user-created projects. You can configure these settings according to your needs during the development process.
For more information about this dialog box, see Project Settings Dialog Box.
If you cannot view the entirety of a setting name, value, or description in the dialog box, you can resize the panes to display the complete text. When you hover the cursor over a setting value that is not completely visible, Platform Builder displays a tooltip containing the entire value.
The following options are available on this tab.

| .def File | Specifies a name for the module-definition (.def) file.
This overrides the default path, file name, and file name extension. |
