By default, does Windows CE 6 auto-run applications found on an inserted USB stick? We are actually trying to make sure this does NOT happen, but the documentation we're finding is contradictory as to whether it happens or not. In response to Ramhound's request: 1) There's a on stackoverflow that seems related, but the it links to is talking about running specific programs, not 'run whatever shows up on an inserted USB Stick' (what Windows XP/7/8/etc. Calls autorun). 2) There's a on intermec that points to an talking about autorun, but it's talking about Windows Mobile which may or may not apply to Windows CE.
Install Php On Tomcat 8 Manager. I can't load RegEdit in windows ce 5.0. RegEdit.exe.config in the same folder as RegEdit.exe it should solve. Windows CE: Simple Little Registry Editor. I've a panel pc which runs Windows CE 5.0. How to add registry key on Windows CE 5.0 device? There is no regedit on CE.
There's also a link to which is totally out of context and I don't know how to apply the information therein. 3) (who usually knows what he is talking about) says 'Windows CE. Doesn’t automatically run applications on removable media when the media is inserted.' (emphasis mine) 4) There is a discussion about that leaves the question un-answered Practical Test To our existing WinCE 6 app (which runs off an SD card) I added a call to SHGetAutoRunPath(). It returned ' Network 2577 autorun.exe' where 2577 is the expected ARM processor number but 'Network' is strange since it's not connected to a network.
This same value is returned whether I have a USB stick inserted at boot time or not. I then made another version of our existing app that simply wrote a file ('autoran.txt') onto a writable directory on the SD card, and copied the modified app to ' 2577 autorun.exe' on a USB stick. Having this USB stick inserted when the device booted resulted in NO 'autoran.txt' file appearing on the SD card, indicating autorun did not happen.
