Warmboot

A warmboot reboots the computer without erasing any registry data. However, any applications installed to RAM are lost, as is
all data in RAM. This occurs because the operating system is stored on the flash drive, but must be loaded into RAM to run.
All registry configurations are automatically preserved. Any applications stored as .CAB files in the System folder and
configured in the Registry to persist are reinstalled on boot up by the Launch utility.

Coldboot

A coldboot reboots the computer, erases all registry data and returns the computer to factory default settings. In order to be
preserved, applications and data must be stored in the System folder. Registry information is not preserved. Only factory
default applications and drivers stored as .CAB files in the System folder are loaded by Launch.
A cold boot is initiated by running the Coldboot application in the Windows folder. This application automatically cold boots the
VX6, erasing any customer applied registry changes and returning the VX6 to its factory settings.

Clearing Persistent Storage / Reset to Default Settings

The coldboot utility sets all registry settings back to factory defaults. No other clearing is available or necessary.

Folders Copied at Startup

If any of the following folders are created in the System folder, they are copied at startup:
System\Desktop
System\Favorites
System\Fonts
System\Help
System\Programs
AppMgr
Recent
This function copies only the folder contents, no sub-folders.
The Windows\Startup folder is not copied on startup because copying this folder has no effect on the system or an incorrect
effect.
Files in the Startup folder are executed, but only from System\Startup. Windows\Startup is parsed too early in the boot process
so it has no effect.
Executables in System\Startup must be the actual executable, not a shortcut, because shortcuts are not parsed by Launch.
