Hi all,

I am developing application using VB.NET and don't have Platform builder.
I would like to start an application(from USB flash disk) after CE image
file is loaded.
I have tried creating folder startup (in flash disk) and placing shortcut
into it, but it isn't work.
Please advice me the method complete this task.

Regards
 
Although this describes Pocket PC, you should be able to use the same
approach as detailed here:-
http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/autorun.html

The disk must have a folder corresponding to the CPU type of the device e.g.
2577 for ARM, which contains a file autorun.exe which will be called with
command line argument install when the disk is mounted.

Since you're talking USB mass storage, is it safe to assume this is *not* a
PPC? If that's the case, unless the OEM put in some mechanism for autorun
you might not be able to do it.

Thank both Chris and Peter. Sorry for unclearly description in question.
Actually, my device is embedded computer, operating on WINCE4, using AMD
Georde as CPU and Compact flash (type I) and USB Mass storage as storage
media.
OS will be loaded from image file (NK.bin) which is stored in compact flash
disk.

I will try as your recommendations
