Thanks!

The File Explorer and the Task Manager are applications that OEMs can decide to add to their devices, but they are not included by default.

One way to get a file explorer is to connect to the emulator using ActiveSync through the Device Emulator Manager. This tool is available from the "Tools" menu. From the manager, you can virtually craddle an emulator so that ActiveSync will connect to it. You can use the "Get Connected" wizard from ActiveSync, or select the "DMA" option in the connection settings. Note that ActiveSync only supports one connected device at a time, so make sure you do not have any connected device when you do this. Afterward, you will be able to use the "Explore" functionality of ActiveSync.

OK, thanks. But how can I test the behavior of my application if the user decides to terminate it via the Task Manager? Don't I need to explicitly code for this condition?

Thanks!
