USING THE AUTOLAUNCH COMPONENT
The AutoLaunch component is created to ease the tasks needed to launch one or more applications during Compact 7 startup. With this component, you can configure the Compact 7 device to launch multiple applications during startup and control these applications’ launching sequence using configurable time delay to launch each application.

As of this book’s writing, the AutoLaunch_v200_Compact7 component is the latest version, available from the Codeplex site at the following URL:
