Introduction

This chapter describes the File System Directory Structure on the PDT 7500 terminal.

File System Directory Structure

Directories, databases, the registry, and files on Windows CE are collectively referred to as
the Object Store. The Object Store is located in RAM, but is initially generated from the
ROM image on the terminal. This means that any files the user loads onto most Windows
CE terminals are stored in RAM. The PDT 7500 terminal also includes Flash File System
folders that use non-volatile Flash memory to store files.
Note: Any files copied to the Object Store are lost after a cold boot.
On the PDT 7500 terminal, the following folders are located in the Object Store:
Root folder
!
My Documents
!
Program Files
!
Temp
!
Windows folder
!
Network Folder (when network re-director is included).
!
In addition to the folders in the Object Store, the PDT 7500 terminal contains up to three
Flash File System folders. The Flash File System folders are named:
Platform

Application
