How to Launch Applications Automatically
There are two ways to launch applications automatically on a cold
boot:
• Set up your application .cab file to place a shortcut to the
application in the \Windows\StartUp directory at install time.
• Use AutoRun to start your application at boot time. AutoRun ships
on the computer and automates other operations. At boot time,
AutoRun executes any commands found in its data file,
Autouser.dat. For more information on using AutoRun, see the
Readme.txt file located in the My Device\Flash File Store\2577
directory on the computer.

the same time, using the SmartSystems console. For help, see the
