prompt you for input. Follow the on-screen instructions.
AutoStart
The AutoStart program allows you to create a list of applications (with
optional command line arguments) to run automatically at startup.
AutoStart launches each time the Falcon is rebooted with a Warm or Cold
Reset. AutoStart will then run the
Autostart.ini (reference Table 1 for the
location), executing each line with the specified command line arguments. It
will take into account any AutoStart options at the beginning of the line.
Table 1. Autostart.ini Location
Autostart.ini
The Autostart.ini is a text file that AutoStart will run upon startup of the
Falcon. This file should be placed in the AutoStart folder. AutoStart will run
the
Autostart.ini file on each reboot of the device.
Line Formatting
Each line of the Autostart.ini can consist of Autostart options, an execut-
able, and any command line arguments.
Please be patient and do not remove the Falcon from the Dock until the procedure

• 22 minutes to download using a serial connection with 115K baud rate.
• 130 minutes to download using a serial connection with 19.2K baud rate.

Windows CE \FlashFX Disk
Windows Mobile \Windows\Autostart
Installing CAB files with AutoStart is not recommended with Windows Mobile
because memory is persistent through Cold Reset.
Autoexec.ini, which uses AutoCE on some older models, has been deprecated.
These files should be renamed to Autostart.ini and reformatted as described in
"AutoStart" on page 3-6.
