"Autorun" when inserting SD card

[Paul J.]

Hello,

Is there any "autorun" mechanism when inserting a SD Card ?

I would like to launch an application when a card is
inserted in the Pocket pc ...

Any information about that ?

thanks,

PJ

create an autorun.inf file with the following syntax:
[AutoRun]
open=program.exe

Simply replace program.exe with the file/program you want to autorun. Place
this autorun.inf file in the root of the sd card.

It can be done by placing an exe called Autorun in a processor specific
folder on the card - e.g. 2577 for ARM based devices. It is probably not
advisable to write this application in .NETCF in case the card is inserted
in a device without the framework present as it will result in an error.

The OS will automatically execute autorun.exe located in a directory named
with am integer value of the current processor architecture. In case of
ARM-based Pocket PC it will be \Storage Card\2577\Autorun.exe

This works for all types of storage cards - SD, CF, PCMCIA

You should be able to use th '\0' directory as well, which is for all
processors.

Thanks a lot everybody ...
It works with PPC2003 Ipaq 1930.
One thing : It does not work with a directory named "2410"
which is the CPU type, but 2577.

I does not seem to work with autorun.inf ...

Thanks,

IPaq has an ARM CPU, which is 2577
