PostShell searches the “\Flash File Store\SYSTEM” directory for an execut-
able of the same name. If one exists, that application is launched instead.
This application can do what a customer desires and is launched after the
Microsoft Shell starts initialization. The Microsoft Shell does not require
complete initialization before this application begins and that may cause
some application or system issues. These issues are expected and are consid-
ered normal for those developing PostShell applications. The application
must test if the APIs it requires are available.

RunAutoRun
System components are installed and configured during the power up
process from a single starting point. RunAutoRun
(RUNAUTORUN.EXE), built into the operating system image and
located in the “\Windows\Startup” folder, checks for AutoExec
(AUTOEXEC.EXE) in a “\SYSTEM” folder on a mounted volume in this

(AUTOEXEC.EXE) in a “\SYSTEM” folder on a mounted volume in this
order:
• Secure Digital (SD)
• Object Store - may be non-volatile storage or RAM
• Disk on Chip - may map as Object Store
• Flash File Store - may map as Object Store. This is the default location
for the AutoExec program in Intermec systems. Intermec system applica-
tions are started from this folder. The ordering of mounted volumes

The folder names used for the mounted volumes above are retrieved from
the registry to maintain coherence with the naming of the mounted vol-
umes on the platform. These folder names are not hard-coded. If AutoExec
is present in the “\SYSTEM” folder on any of these media, it executes the
program only on the first media it is found on and no other.

When the AUTOEXEC.EXE process completes, Run Autorun then checks
for the existence of AutoRun (AUTORUN.EXE) and executes this pro-

used by AutoExec.
