Micro Innovations M000174-19 manual Autoexec.Reg, Autoexec.Bat

General Windows CE

After Windows CE is launched, the following functions are run if the CTRL/DOWNLOAD button is not pressed:

1.The bootloader searches for the AutoLaunch.inf file on the SD Flash card. If this file is present, the program is started under [AutoLaunchBoot]. See also chapter AutoLaunch.

2.The registry entries are transferred when the AUTOEXEC.REG file is found in the root directory of the boot device. See also chapter Autoexec.reg.

3.The bootloader also looks for the AUTOEXEC.BAT file in the root directory. This file is run if it is present. See also chapter Autoexec.bat.

1.2AUTOEXEC.REG

Customer-specific registry entries can be configured using the AUTOEXEC.REG file when the MICRO PANEL starts up. The file must be stored in the root directory of the boot device. The registry is used for different settings (see also chapter Registry Editor). When the MICRO PANEL is started, the registry is set according to the image, partly also known as the CE kernel. All other necessary registry entries must be contained in this file.

The file format is described in the chapter «Registry Editor – .REGFile».

Note:

The file AUTOEXEC.REG file is not executed if the CTRL/DOWNLOAD button is pressed during the startup!

1.3AUTOEXEC.BAT

A customized panel start can be implemented with the AUTOEXEC.BAT start file. This enables command line commands to be executed without a keyboard. The file must be stored in the root directory of the device. A search is carried out for the «Autoexec.bat» file for 10 seconds after the operating system is started. If the file is found, it is executed using a «CMD» Shell. The «CMD» Shell is given a parameter (%1) for the AUTOEXEC.BAT file with the name of the boot device. This parameter can be used to start programs from the correct device:

Note:

The file AUTOEXEC.REG file is not executed if the CTRL/DOWNLOAD button is pressed during the startup!

Important:

If a download is executed with the GALILEO Design Tool, the AUTOEXEC.BAT file is created again on the basis of the INI file in the GALILEO project. This means that any required settings must be added to the INI file. For more information on this refer to the chapter «INI File Startup» in the GALILEO online documentation.
