Autostart.ini

The

Autostart.ini

is a text file that AutoStart will run upon startup of the

Falcon, and after any CAB files are installed. This file should be placed in the
AutoStart folder. AutoStart will run the

Autostart.ini

file on each reboot

of the device (with the exception of a Clean Boot, which will remove the
AutoStart folder).

Line Formatting

Each line of the

Autostart.ini

can consist of Autostart options, an execut-

able, and any command line arguments.
< Autostart option(s)>

Sample:

- \windows\pword.exe \file.doc
Table

7

breaks down the sample

Autostart.ini

line.

Table 7. Autostart.ini line formatting

Spaces must be placed between each component of the line in the

Autostart.ini

.

If the executable path is in a folder that contains spaces in the name, quotes are
required to distinguish what the actual executable name is. The following is an
example of this:

“\Program Files\PSC\ScannerApp.exe” /run

(valid)

\Program Files\PSC\ScannerApp.exe /run

(invalid)

The second line is an invalid line because there is no way to distinguish the
executable from the argument.

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 1-7.
