5 Services and utilities
The standard OS image includes several useful services for flexible appli-
cation handling. Some of them are just run-once services directly after the
OS has been started, others are available permanently.
5.1 Services
5.1.1 Autocopy
This service is executed after the OS has booted and when a storage me-
dium has been inserted. This service provides a comfortable installation
and/or update functionality as well as copy mechanism for specific files
that are not included in the OS (e.g. for runtime libraries).
Subfolders and files within a folder named “
autocopy
” on a USB stick, SD
card or in the NAND flash will be copied to the root of the device resp. its
equivalent targets. Non-existing folders will be created automatically.
5.1.2 Autostart
This service is executed after the OS has booted and when a storage me-
dium has been inserted. It checks the NAND flash partition as well as the
USB stick and SD-card for an existing
autostart folder
. All applications
found therein will be executed.
5.1.3 ResolveLNK
The service ResolveLNK in the Startup folder allows the OS to handle
links in the Autostart folder. A
link is a special type of file that contains a
reference to another file or directory of the Vico/Scout.

If you want to make a WINCE shortcut directly on the device
, simply
highlight the file in Windows Explorer, select Edit->Copy, then browse the
desired target location, select Edit->Paste Shortcut.
5.2 Utilities
5.2.1 DisableSerialConsole.exe
By default, the serial interface is configured as debug console. This en-
ables also the RedBoot functionality via terminal console. In this mode, it is
not available as serial interface. To switch between both modes, please
use the tool that is located in
My Device\Windows\DisableSerialconsole.exe
