To configure AutoRun:
1 In Notepad, create a file called AutoUser.dat.
2 Write this command in the file:
RUN “Path\AppName.exe” arg1, arg2, arg3
where:
Path is the path to the directory where the application resides.
AppName.exe is the application name.
arg1, arg2, and arg3 are optional command line arguments.
For example, to launch MyProgram.exe located in the Flash File
Store, the command is EXEC “Flash File
Store\Apps\MyProgram.exe”.
Because AutoRun handles quoted file names for the first
parameter, you can specify path names or file names containing
white spaces. AutoRun only supports one set of quotes per
command.
3 Copy AutoUser.dat to the \Windows\Startup directory on the
mobile computer.
Updating the System Software
The mobile computer uses Image Update to update the operating
system (OS) and the system software. Image Update uses incremental
packages to allow for smaller and faster updates because the contents
are stored in flash ROM.
Update packages persist through a cold or clean boot and cannot be
removed by the end user. The Image Update process also provides
strengthened security because all packages are signed. Image Update
packages (.pkg or .pks files) may contain elements such as DLLs,
executable (.exe) files, and .cab files.
You can use either of these methods to update your mobile computer:
• You can update multiple computers at the same time using the
SmartSystems Console. For help, see the next section,
