How to create an application shortcut after a hard reset

[Alastair Williamson]

Hi everyone,

We run a custom application on some ppc devices. The units are in constant
use and occasionally the batteries run out and the units hard-reset
themselves. We've manged to embedd all the cab files in the \Application
directory so all the necessary programs re-install when the user changes the
battery and there are registry files to reset key attributes and to block
pocket pc setup etc.

However, we can't work out how to put a shortcut to our menu application in
"\Windows\Start Up\" folder so this loads when the units are re-started.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Units are Symbol 8846's running PPC2003.

I appreciate this is not necessarily a CompactFramework problem so I'm sorry
if anyone feels this is out of place in this this newsgroup.

Cheers

C-Ya Aly

A shortcut is simply an .lnk file. You need to make one and put it in with
your deployment so on a hard boot the Symbol utility copies it to the
\Windows\Startup folder.
