AutoStart

The AutoStart program provides three functions:

Allows you to create a list of applications (with optional command line arguments) to run automatically prior to loading CAB files.

Automatically reinstalls specified CAB files when the Falcon is Hard Reset.

Allows you to create a list of applications (with optional command line arguments) to run automatically after loading CAB files.

AutoStart launches each time the Falcon is rebooted. AutoStart first runs PreAuto.ini (reference Table 3-2for the location), executing each line with the specified command line arguments. It will take into account any AutoStart options at the begining of the line.

Upon a Cold Reset, AutoStart installs all the CAB files located in the AutoStart CAB folder. If the AutoStart CAB folder does not exist, no CAB files will be installed.
