Use and Functioning84 JOYA™ TOUCHFlashDisk Directory File ManagementAll of the Windows Embedded Compact 7 system files reside in RAM(volatile memory) except for the FlashDisk directory, which resides inFLASH (non-volatile memory).Therefore the contents of the FlashDisk directory are persistent evenif the mobile computer is rebooted or the battery pack is changed.You can save your more important files that you don't want to losedue to mobile computer reboot, in the FlashDisk directory or create asub-directory within FlashDisk.Even though the Windows Directory resides in RAM, it often containsfiles or sub-directories created by the user or by installationprograms that you don't want to lose at re-boot. To keep these filespersistent it is necessary to copy them to the directory\FlashDisk\Windows.This directory doesn't exist originally (only FlashDisk exists), andtherefore it must be created. At the next cold boot, before activatingthe shell, Windows Embedded Compact 7 will copy the contentsincluding all sub-directories of \FlashDisk\Windows to \Windows.Likewise, to maintain files that must be run at Windows EmbeddedCompact 7 startup, (i.e. .exe, .lnk, .vb, .htm, etc.), it is necessary tocopy them to the directory \FlashDisk\Startup.This directory does not exist originally (only FlashDisk exists), andtherefore it must be created. The applications programs will be runafter any type of re-boot (both software and cold boot).However, since file system persistence is performed after the“\FlashDisk\Startup” folder execution, for those programs whichdepends upon the DLLs and resources copied from“\FlashDisk\Windows” to “\Windows” during the cold-boot, the“\FlashDisk\Windows\dl_startup” folder is to be preferred toexecute programs and applications, since the execution follows the
