124
To have files (CAB, EXE, REG, or WAV files) loaded on startup, when sequence of execution is
not important, you can put these files in the \System\Startup folder (on the internal Flash card).
This is parsed by the Launch utility, and these programs are started or executed.

ClearHive.EXE

Command line utility which causes the Registry to be reset to original factory settings. The
command is not case-sensitive. Run \Windows\ClearHive.exe using the virtual keypad or Soft
Input Panel (SIP). Tap Enter or OK.
Passwords are lost upon reset to factory settings. If a password is set, that password must be
entered to begin the ClearHive reset process.

GrabTime.EXE

Note:
The MX8 has a GrabTime utility which can automatically synchronize the MX8 with a worldwide
time server (via an Internet connection) at boot up. By default, GrabTime for time synchronization
at boot up is Off.
To enable GrabTime to run automatically at boot up, run \Windows\grabtime.exe and perform a
warm boot (Enter + Power). For more detail, see LAUNCH.EXE, earlier in this chapter.

Synchronize with a local time server

• Use ActiveSync to copy GrabTime.ini from the My Device | Windows folder on the MX8 to
the host PC.
• Edit GrabTime.ini (on the host PC) to add the local time server's domain name to the
beginning of the list of servers. You can then optionally delete the remainder of the list.
• Copy the modified GrabTime.ini to the My Device | System folder on the MX8.
• The System/GrabTime.ini file takes precedence over the Windows/GrabTime.ini file. Each
time the mobile device is cold booted, the Windows/GrabTime.ini file is replaced with the
default version and the System/GrabTime.ini file is not.

RegEditor.EXE

The Registry Editor allows viewing, searching for items and changing settings in the registry
(Launch.REG). The registry contains information about how the mobile device runs. LXE
recommends
damage the mobile device operating system. LXE recommends making a backup copy of the
registry before viewing or carefully making changes to the registry.

RegDump.EXE

Double-tapping the RegDump.EXE file causes the contents of the Registry to be copied to an
ASCII text file (Reg.txt) in the My Documents folder.
