Warmboot
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 happens 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 directory 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 directory are loaded by Launch.
A cold boot is initiated by running the Coldboot application in the \Windows directory. This application automatically cold boots
the MX3X, erasing any customer applied registry changes and returning the MX3X to its factory settings.
Clearing Persistent Storage / Reset to Default Settings
The coldboot utility sets all registry settings back to LXE factory defaults. No other clearing is available or necessary.
Folders Copied at Startup
The following folders are copied on startup:
l System\Desktop=> Windows\Desktop
l System\Favorites=> Windows\Favorites
l System\Fonts=> Windows\Fonts
l System\Help => Windows\Help
l System\Programs=> Windows\Programs
This function copies only the directory contents, no sub-folders.
The following folders are NOT copied on startup:
l Windows\AppMgr
l Windows\Recent
l Windows\Startup
Because copying these 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.
