After adding the NDIS miniport driver for a Windows-based desktop platform to your Workspace, use Platform Builder to modify the NDIS miniport driver initialization functions.

To add debug zones to the NDIS miniport driver initialization functions

In %_WINCEROOT%\Platform\%_TGTPLAT%\Drivers\CENDISMiniport, open Mp.h , and then define Windows CE debug zones at the end of the file, immediately before the last #endif directive.

The following code example shows how to add Windows CE debug zones.
```
#ifdef UNDER_CE

//
// Windows CE debug zones
//

#define ZONE_INIT      DEBUGZONE(0)
#define ZONE_ERROR     DEBUGZONE(15)

#endif  //  UNDER_CE
```

In %_WINCEROOT%\Platform\%_TGTPLAT%\Drivers\CENDISMiniport, open Mp_main.c, and define dpCurSettings immediately above the NDIS miniport driver DllMain entry point definition.

The following code example shows how to define dpCurSettings.

DBGPARAM dpCurSettings = {
    TEXT("e100bex"), 
    {
        TEXT("Init"),
        TEXT("Undefined"),
        TEXT("Undefined"),
        TEXT("Undefined"),
        TEXT("Undefined"),
        TEXT("Undefined"),
        TEXT("Undefined"),
        TEXT("Undefined"),
        TEXT("Undefined"),
        TEXT("Undefined"),
        TEXT("Undefined"),
        TEXT("Undefined"),
        TEXT("Undefined"),
        TEXT("Undefined"),
        TEXT("Warning"),
        TEXT("Error") 
    },
    0x000b
};

From the IDE Build menu, choose Open Build Release Directory.
Navigate to the directory containing your Windows CE NDIS miniport driver.

Be sure your NDIS miniport driver is in %_WINCEROOT%\Platform\%_TGTPLAT%\Drivers\CENDISMiniport.
Build the Windows CE NDIS miniport driver with the Build tool.

For more information about the Build tool, see Build Tool. Microsoft recommends using the -c parameter with the Build tool to delete all object files.
