the Platform folder on the device. See page 7-3 for detailed information about the Navigator.xml file and

\Application\Startup\StartMenu.Run file can alter the default startup application.

Disabling Scanner Services
In some cases, developers may choose to disable MT2000 Scanner Services which enables the hand-held scan
and transmit operation on a Windows CE 5.0 device. When disabled, ScanItem.exe and ScanInventory.exe
applications do not operate. In addition, connection to the STB2078 cradle, the Bluetooth-to-computer bridge,
cannot operate as it relies on MT2000 Scanner Services to implement the necessary communications. Disable
