AutoStart launches each time the Falcon is rebooted with a Cold Reset.
AutoStart then installs all the CAB files located in the AutodStart CAB folder.
If the AutoStart CAB folder does not exist, no CAB files will be installed.

Installing CAB files
Copy any CAB files you want to install into the AutoStart CAB folder. These
CAB files will then be automatically installed in alphabetical order the next
time you start the device (with the exception of a Windows Mobile Clean
Boot, which would remove the CAB files). Reference the QRG for F4400 with
Windows Mobile for information about Clean Boot.
How AutoStart Uses Wceload
CAB files are installed by AutoStart using the Wceload.exe application.
