USE AND OPERATION 3
3.5.2 Files Admin The FILES ADMIN applet enables control of the permanence of files in the System Folder.
Two functions are available on the Files Admin Main window by means of two buttons:
Figure 22 - Files Admin Main Window
Save Session: with this button all files will be permanently saved in the \Windows directory
in non-volatile memory. This function guarantees the steady maintenance of every file
produced during the current working session - even of sub-directories and relevant files - with
the exception of the files belonging to the FLASH image.
These current working session files will be backed-up in the \Backup\Windows directory.
At the next hardware reset, the files previously saved in the \Backup\Windows directory will
be restored to the Windows directory (see par. 3.9).
Safe Setup: with this button, the installation of software programs will be saved to non-
volatile memory (Backup directory). Before doing this, the Backup directory will be checked
to see if there is enough space to save the files. If there is not enough space in the directory,
an error message will be shown and the program will exit the Safe Setup function.
Two activating procedures are available:
- Select an installation file (for example, a .CAB cabinet file) from the Safe Setup mask.
Figure 23 - Safe Setup First Mask
Then select \Windows or a relevant sub-directory in the path box. Then, Safe Setup will
recognize the new files and directories present in the \Windows directory, and will copy
them to the \Backup\Windows directory. At the next hardware reset, these files will be
restored (see par. 3.9).
- Simply skip the first mask. When it closes, a new mask will pop up: it will enable any type of
installation (even remote ones like ActiveSync installations). Make sure the installation
directory is \Windows or one of its sub-directories. After installation, select OK: Safe Setup
will save the new files in the \Backup\Windows directory.
