You can select this type of start-up in order to save the original status of the control. The files
are archived in the "original.arc" file.

If there is no "original.arc" file in the directory, it is recommended that an archive be generated
from the data of the original control state as delivered.
As for "Create start-up", control components can be saved individually or jointly.
