option(s)

Full path to executable Command line arguments

-

\windows\pword.exe

\file.doc

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.
