WinPE beginner

Hello,
I’ve just started messing around creating my own Windows PE flash drive and/or boot DVD.
I’m using WinPE builder and have been able to make a USB drive that boots directly to the command prompt.
I’ve played around w/ portable applications and so far have been able to get a portable file explorer to work but not easy. I must change drives & folders to run the setup for the program. The install works from drive F that is installed on drive X, but what’s weird when I’m through w/ WinPE, what’s created on the X drive seems not to stay. When I’ve finished the install the portable file explorer will work and looks as it should, but I do believe there’s a way to make the file explorer startup automatically instead of me going through the manual setup each time…this is where I’m at now. If it’s possible, I want to start the file explorer up automatically when WinPE boots instead of the command prompt, and I believe this can work through the startnet.cmd but haven’t had any luck w/ that yet.
As you can tell, I’m a severe WinPE beginner.

I've got the file manager to come up now at the start, but for some reason it will lock up not too long in use. This is another problem I'll deal w/, but as stated before, I have some severe learning to do.
