7 - 2 MT2070/MT2090 User Guide

Customizing the Startup Program
By default, Navigator.exe is selected as the startup program. This program provides the Home screen view and
accessibility to the demonstration/configuration applications such as:
•
Scan Item
•
Scan Inventory
•
File Explorer
•
Task Manager
•
MCL Client
•
Wireless Companion (MT2090 Only).
Although the demonstration/configuration applications are very useful for pre sentations, they may not be
appropriate for the end user (e.g., having access to all programs in addition t o the customer designated program
requirements). For this purpose, simple customization of the \Application\Startup\StartMenu.Run file can alter the
default startup application.
For example, to launch MCL as the default application instead of Navigator.exe, alter the contents of
StartMenu.Run by changing:
\windows\Navigator.exe
to:
\Application\MCL\StartMCL.exe
The new startup application takes affect when the device restarts via a cold or warm boot.
