Autostart

Where is the best place in !Boot for auto-starting a !Program on the Desktop – is it:

!Boot.Choices.Boot.Desktop

…
$.!Program
|End

My personal opinion is that the best place is through the UI: Open Configure, go to Boot, and add the app to the Run list.

I have always preferred to use

$.!Boot.Choices.Boot.Tasks.!Boot

$.!Boot.Choices.Boot.PreDesktop

|GCW
Alias Check IfThere %%1 then %%0 %%1
Alias CRun Check Filer_Run Boot:^.%%0
Alias CBoot Check Filer_Boot Boot:^.%%0

As the front page of the website says: "A fast and

easily customised operating system for ARM devices

There are many ways to configure autostarts.

Let !Configure manage this for you.

For convenience I have a folder in the root called Startup. In there I have files that are run during startup, using the Boot – run at startup option.

This means if I need to re-create the startup environment, all the bits are in one place ready, and I don’t have to remember which things I start, and where they are.

I don’t have to remember which things I start, and where they are.

and in which order they should be started and whether they should be Run or Filer_Run
