removing a PC Card or CompactFlash Card.
Using the auto run feature
Your HP Jornada includes an auto run feature, which
enables you to automatically start a program stored on a PC
Card or CompactFlash Card simply by inserting the card
into your HP Jornada. This feature is designed for use by
advanced users.
To use the auto run feature, create a text file named
Autorun.inf and copy the file to the PC Card or
CompactFlash Card. The Autorun.inf file contains the
command to start a single program that is also stored on the
PC Card or CompactFlash Card.
To create an auto run file
1. Install the PC Card or CompactFlash Card contain-
ing the program you want to run automatically. (See
instructions earlier in this chapter.)
2. In Pocket Word, create a document containing the
following text:
[autorun.sh3]
open=filename.exe
where filename.exe is the name of the program (.exe
file) in the root directory of the PC Card or Compact-
Flash Card.
3. On the File menu, tap Save As.
4. Under Name, type autorun.
5. Under Type, select Unicode Text Document.
6. Browse to the root folder of the PC Card or Compact-
Flash Card, and then tap OK.
