      The binary installer of Qt for Windows CE creates the following short cuts in the start menu:

      • "Visual Studio with Qt 4.6.0 Desktop"
      • "Visual Studio with Qt 4.6.0 Windows Mobile 6 Professional"
      • "Visual Studio with Qt 4.6.0 WinCE standard 5 x86"

      What they're doing is:

      • setup the environment for (cross-) compiling Qt programs
      • start Visual Studio with "devenv /useenv"

      And here's the problem: starting VS with /useenv will have the effect that all platforms will have the same include, library and compiler paths. Thus switching platforms in this Visual Studio instance isn't possible anymore. There's no need for these short cuts. There's no need to force VS to a specific environment.
