Startup location

[dannyoneill]

What are all the possible ways for WM5 to startup programs.

With windows I know you have the startup folder, run keys in the registry and services.

What are all the possible locations a program can be launched from within WM5. The only one I know of is the startup folder but there obviously are more.

Thanks

Could be in the notification/event queue, launched by services, drivers and today plugins amongst others.

There is also the HKLM\Init key which is the equivalent of the run key.

Hi Danny,
On the contrary I am paid for the comments.
The payment is Not recd. in Cash or Kind;
But some nice ppl (no pun Intended) sometimes just feel nice...

after all it's a small world
it's a short life.... :D

I always make it a point to feel a bit on the lighter side once in a while.
No Illl-feelings here buddy.

In case u felt Offended, I did NOT MEAN it that way..
In Fact I meant was that though a very innocent question from ur side, it set me also thinking.... about another way the items can be added to startup.
Do let me know when something crops up here....

And once more..
I MEAN IT THAT I DID NOT SAY THIS To offend your query in any way Cos it was something I too wanna learn.
And when I get the answer to this, I shall be One step ahead of where I am Today (thanx to u Danny)

I am simply an newbie and learning daily;
Even When I am 10,000 posts old ( i hope they lemme stay here that long :wink: ) still whenever I shall log in, : i know I shall keep on learning new things here..

Its a great Forum And I am proud to be a part of it here With you beside me....

One more thing u don't know
Your Posts about the Wireless Networking here were very helpful to My Friend who had problems, a few days back. and I even forwarded ur links to him by e mail...

He got so happy ..... Thanx again for that Danny :wink:

No offence taken or meant.

Ive only had my jamin a week now and as with everything in my job I like to know how it works, the ins and outs. I think ive pretty much got the jamin figured even to the point ive made my own CABs to help when I hard reset (done one a day so far while I figure it out.)

The only thing left is understanding what runs when I turn it on. Like its nice to know what runs when you turn windows on Windows Mobile is the same, even more so given the limited memory. For example I have the built in CA antivirus installed, but I set it not to run on startup, dont want it remnding me im out of date. Its just finding where teh startup locations are.

You should really get rid of the antivirus. Uninstall it completely.
One day in the (not so near) future, viruses for Windows Mobile devices may become a problem, but for now any anti virus software for these devices is a pure waste of system resources.

[dannyoneill]

totally agree. I actaully hard reset again (yup, more fiddling) and removed it from my Ext Rom.

At present there are only 2 virus's. one is a proof of doncept (Wince/duts) and the other is still pretty lame.

The chances of running such a program is slim but both are detected by desktop virus's scanners. so unless your downloading software direct to the PPC your pretty safe. Even then you still need to launch the file.

Hey Danny
U can try installing the MemMaid (attached)
It has a great interactive user friendly interface and tells u all the hidden apps running and u can deselect a few ones(coz it tells u which ones are taking the Most memory)
Do take a full backup, in case u delete a system file and the device does not boot up.
I hope some seniors here would advice more on this..

SORRY I HAD TO ATTACH PICS THIS WAY.
My Image Store site was down
