Chapter 4 — Manage the Computer

You can have your .cab file place the application in any of these memory locations on the computer:

•Object store (root directory)

•The non-volatile Flash File Store. Applications and data in the Flash File Store will persist through a clean boot or if you reflash the operating system image.

•The optional microSD card. Depending on available disk space, you may want to consider installing your application files on the microSD card. Using a card creates the Storage Card folder on the computer.

Files copied to any of these locations are safe when you cold boot the computer if the Autouser.dat file has been edited correctly. All .cab files in each CABFILES folder are automatically extracted after a cold boot. For more information about AutoRun, see the Intermec Developer Library Resource Kit Developer Guide.
