Table 3-4. 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\ScannerApp.exe” /run (valid)

\Program Files\ScannerApp.exe /run (invalid)

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

Description

Character

Comments

Comment: This line will not be exe-
cuted.

‘#’ OR ‘ ‘
(space)

This may only be used as the first
character of the line. If the comment
option is specified in the options
elsewhere, it is ignored.

Do not wait on line completion:
This will cause the line to execute
and immediately move onto the
next line.

‘-’

Query: Request user confirmation
when running the executable.

‘?’

This will halt parsing the
Autostart.ini until the confirmation is
answered. This is intended for
debugging the Autostart.ini file.

Execute only on Cold Reset

‘!’
