Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
86 CK61 Mobile Computer with Windows Mobile User’s Manual
When the AutoExec.exe process completes, Run Autorun then checks for
the existence of AutoRun (AutoRun.exe) and executes this program from
the first media it is found on. This order is the same as what is used by
AutoExec.
AutoRun is reserved for customer use to configure application launch
sequences. It launches the CAB installer, AutoCab, as well as any customer
programs that added to the AutoUser.dat file and is described on the next
page. The hierarchy of these files is shown below.
AutoExec
AutoExec (AutoExec.exe) automates operations such as pausing, launching
processes, or signaling, and is configured through the AutoExec data file
(AutoExec.dat). This script file must be in the same directory as the
program itself.
AutoRun
AutoRun automates operations such as launching other processes and is
configured through the AutoRun data file (AutoRun.dat). This script file
must be in the same directory as the program itself.
AutoRun supports the following script commands in AutoUser.dat and
AutoRun.dat.
runautorun
autoexec autorun
autocopy autoreg foldercopy
customer
applications
autocab
autocab
Note: Intermec considers the usage of the AutoExec data file as “Intermec
Private.” AutoExec installs Intermec applications such as Data Collection,
Security Supplicants, Intermec Management, applets, and shortcuts from
components found in the Flash File System. Do not modify the AutoExec
data file. Instead, use the AutoRun program to add software components.
Note: If you need to add steps at boot time, add them to AutoUser.dat, not
to AutoRun.dat. AutoRun.dat is provided by Intermec and is subject to
change. AutoUser.dat is the designated place for the end user to add steps to
the boot time process.
