The Aero 1500/2100 Series HP/Cs include an Autorun feature. This feature,
. .
aimed at the professional developer or power user, enables a user to run software
. .
on an Aero 1500/2100 Series HP/C automatically upon insertion in the unit of a
. .
. .
Compact Flash card.

Using any text editor, the developer/user creates an autorun.inf file, analogous to
. .
the .inf file found on a CD-ROM, and stores it on a Compact Flash card.
. .
. .
. .
!
Only one application can be specified in the autorun.inf file.
. .
. .
. .
!
An [autorun] tag is included at the beginning of the file for
. .
consistency with the CD-ROM .inf format.
. .
. .
. .
!
The format of the command is:
. .
. .
open=\Path\anyProgram.exe [parameters]
. .
. .
!
The 'open' verb is set equal to the program to be executed.
. .
. .
. .
. .
. .
When the Compact Flash card is inserted into the HP/C, the application specified
. .
in the autorun.inf file will run automatically.
