Who Should Read This Manual
This manual is written for the person who is responsible for installing,configuring,
and maintaining the iLaunch application.
This document provides you with information about the features of the iLaunch
application, and how to install, configure, operate, maintain, and troubleshoot it.
Before you work with the iLaunch application, you should be familiar with your
network and general networking terms, such as IP address.

iLaunch User’s Guide
Introducing iLaunch
iLaunch allows users to launch applications without accessing the applications
through the standard Windows Mobile or Windows CE interface. Using iLaunch, a
system administrator can grant users access to more than one application while
denying access to other applications, or the entire operating system.
iLaunch attempts to provide lock-down functionality, but no application can ever be
completely locked down on a Windows CE-based device. Windows CE platforms are
multi-tasking environments where any number of applications can be active
simultaneously. In addition, Windows CE provides numerous services and utilities
that launch and remain active when a warm boot or cold boot is performed. These
services and utilities may, at any time, use pop-up menus or windows that force their
way on top of any active application.
For example, when you launch Microsoft’s Connection Manager application, the
Network Status pop-up messages may display at any time and it is beyond the scope
of iLaunch to control these messages.
iLaunch Details
iLaunch is an application for 700 Color, CK3, CK30, CK31, CK32, CK61, CN2A,
CN2B, CN3, CN30, CV30, and CV60 computers. It handles launching up to ten
other applications via a configurable set of buttons. The label on each button and
the application the button launches is configurable via an .ini file.
In addition to providing a common interface for users to access the various
applications made available to them, iLaunch also locks down all applications that
are started while iLaunch is running. If Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE) is one of the
programs listed in the .ini file, it launches and looks as it normally does but the user
cannot bring up the Start menu when tapping in the upper-left corner of the screen.
When the user taps the X in the upper-right corner, PIE is minimized and the user is
returned to the iLaunch screen.
A “locked-down” application is an application that prevents the user from leaving
the application or prevents the user from accessing the normal Navigation bar,
Command bar, and Start Menu in PIE. Locked-down applications are extremely
important; they prevent end users from getting “lost” in other parts of the system,
prevent users from changing system settings, and help ensure that users are as
productive as possible.

About the .ini File
The .ini file controls how iLaunch operates on your mobile computer. By default, a
sample .ini file is installed on your mobile computer when you install iLaunch.
Open and edit the .ini file to include your preferred application to launch, password,
and other settings in iLaunch. For a complete list of values you can edit in the .ini
file, see the next section, “Editing the .ini File.”
Before you edit the .ini file, you must first:
•
Install the iLaunch application on your mobile computer.
•
Make sure that Active Sync is installed on your PC computer.
Editing the .ini File
After you install iLaunch, copy the .ini file from your mobile computer to your PC.
To copy and open the .ini file
1 Use a USB cable to connect the mobile computer to the PC computer.
Or,
Remove the storage card from the mobile computer and insert it into a card
reader attached to the PC computer.
2 On the PC computer, go to Start > Programs > Remote Display Control >
Remote Display Control Host.
3 On the mobile computer, go to Start > Programs > certdisp. On the About
CerDisp page, tap OK.
4 On the remote Display Control page, tap, Connect and then OK. The mobile
computer screen appears on your PC computer.
5 Using the PC computer, open a File Explorer window on the mobile computer.
6 Navigate to the NVStorage\launcher folder, where NVStorage is the folder name
of the card you installed in on the mobile computer.
7 Copy the ini file from the NVStorage\launcher folder to your PC computer.
8 Double-click the .ini file.
After you open it, you can edit one or all of the sections in the .ini file. For a sample
.ini file, see “Sample .ini File” on page 18.
Make sure to save the .ini after you edit it and then, transfer the file from your PC to
your mobile computer.
[Caption]
The [Caption] section contains the text that is displayed on each button when
iLaunch is launched. Captions must be specified in sequential order.
To edit the text that is displayed on a button

3 Change “text” to the text you want to appear on the button.
4 Type another line for each button text you want to add. You can specify up to
five buttons on CK30 computers and up to ten on all other computers.
Note: If no text is specified for a button, iLaunch does not display the
button. If Button1 is the only button with a caption, the application
associated with that button may be launched automatically after iLaunch
starts. For more details on automatic launching at startup, see “[Auto
start]” on page 17.
[exe]
The [exe] section associates each button with a particular application. After you
associate a button with an application, you can press that button to launch the
application.
You can use the [exe] value to associate Visual Basic applications, WAV files, MP3
files, Word documents, and other files with file associations to launch when a
specific button is pressed.

1 Go to the [exe] section that reads: ButtonX=path\app.ext.
2 Change X to the numerical value of the button that will launch the application.
The value for X must be a number from 1 through 10.
3 Change path\app.ext to the directory that contains the application you want to
launch.
[Bitmaps]
The [Bitmaps] section points to a specific bitmap (.bmp) image that is displayed at
the top of the iLaunch menu. If you do not have a bitmap to display, leave this field
blank.
To display a bitmap at the top of the iLaunch menu
1 Create a .bmp image and place it in a folder.
The bitmap should be 280 x 80 in 16 colors for the CV60 computer and 140 x 40
in 16 colors for all other computers. The size does not have to be exact; smaller
images will be centered and larger images will be cropped.
2 Go to the [Bitmaps] section, that reads: TopLogo=path\file.bmp.
3 Change path to the full path to the file.
4 Change file.bmp to the bitmap you want to display.
Note: CK30 computers cannot display the bitmap due to screen size limitations.
[password]
This section sets the password required to exit iLaunch. If you leave this section, or
the value after the key name blank, you will not be prompted for a password to exit
the application. Note that:
14
iLaunch User’s Guide
•
A password may be comprised of any alphanumeric character and must be no
more than six characters long.
•
Make sure that the characters you chose for the password can be entered using
the keypad or SIP keyboard available on the computer.
To change the password required to exit iLaunch
1 Go to the [password] section, that reads: pwd=paswrd.
2 Change paswrd to the password you want to exit iLaunch.
3 Delete the cpwd setting.
Note: When iLaunch initially starts up, the password is read, encrypted, written
back to the .ini file in the cpwd key, and then the pwd key is deleted to prevent
retrieving the password from the .ini file.
[ApplicationKeys]
This section associates an application with an application key on a mobile computer
keypad. If no application is specified:
•
For computers not running TE 2000, all application keys are mapped to
iLaunch.
•
For computers running TE 2000, iLaunch sets Application Key 1 to TE 2000,
Application Key 2 to iBrowse, and Application Keys 3 and 4 to iLaunch.
If the default mappings are changed, use the .ini file to ensure any overwritten
default is accessible. Always map at least one application key to iLaunch so the user
can navigate back to iLaunch to launch other applications.
Note: Application keys are only available on computers running the Windows
Mobile operating system.When iLaunch is installed on the CN3, CK3, CK32, or
CV30, the [Windows] key is automatically mapped as the application key.
To map an application key to the keypad
1 In the [ApplicationKeys] section, type: AppKeyXExe=[ButtonY | LAUNCHER |
path\app.exe].
2 Change X in AppKeyXExe to the number of the application key on the physical
keypad.
3 Enter one of the three values for the parameter:
•
Use ButtonY to launch the application associated with ButtonY from the
[exe] section.
•
Use LAUNCHER to launch iLaunch.
•
Use path\app.ext to launch an application not assigned to an iLaunch Screen
button. The only valid AppKey buttons that can be remapped are 1 - 4.
Use the information below to determine the application key a button is associated
with. Depending on the type of mobile computer you have, different buttons are
associated with different application keys:
iLaunch User’s Guide
15
•
On the 700 Color, CN2B Application Key 1 is mapped to A1, Application Key 2 is
mapped to A2, Application Key 3 is mapped to A3, and Application Key 4 is
mapped to A4.
•
On CN3, CK3, CK32, or CV30 computers, Application Key 1 is mapped to the
[Windows] key, if one exists.
•
On the CK60 and CN30 computers running Windows Mobile 5.0 Application
Key 1 is mapped to Gold [Windows], Application Key 2 to Gold [smiley],
Application Key 3 is mapped to Gold [arch], and Application Key 4 is mapped to
Gold [ok].
CK60 and CN30 Application Keys
[Disabled if no signal]
This section allows buttons to be disabled when no signal is available from the
WLAN radio. When the computer is not receiving a signal, the specified buttons are
inactive. When the computer regains a signal, the buttons are re-enabled.
To disable a button when no WLAN radio signal is available
1 In the [Disabled if no signal] section, type: ButtonX=TRUE | FALSE.
2 Change X to the button number that is disabled when no signal is available.
3 Choose TRUE or FALSE (default).
[EnforceSingleAppInstance]
This section prevents an application from starting up multiple instances of itself.
Most Windows Mobile applications are written to allow just one instance of the
application to start and any additional attempts to start the application bring the
original instance into focus. However, under Windows CE operating systems,
starting an application multiple times results in multiple instances.
To enforce a single application instance
1 In the [EnforceSingleAppInstance] section, type: ButtonX=TRUE | FALSE.
2 Change X it to the number of the button mapped to the application that will be
limited to a single instance.
3 Choose TRUE or FALSE (default).
16
iLaunch User’s Guide
[parameters]
This section specifies optional parameters to append when launching an
application. For example, if adding the /f parameter launches APP1.EXE in full
screen mode, the /f parameter is specified here.
To specify optional parameters
1 In the [parameters] section, type: ButtonX=/parm1 /parm2.
2 Change X to the number of the button that launches the application that takes
this parameter.
3 Choose a value for the parameters for the application. The default value is no
parameters.
[Auto start]
This section enables or disables the ability to auto start an application when
iLaunch starts up. If Button1 is the only button with text applied in the [Caption]
section, and if only one application is listed in the [exe] section, that application can
be auto-started when iLaunch starts.
To enable or disable auto start
1 In the [Auto start] section, type: Enabled=TRUE | FALSE.
2 Choose TRUE or FALSE.
•
TRUE directs iLaunch to auto-start the target application when iLaunch is
launched. The default is TRUE.
•
FALSE disables auto-starting.
Saving and Transferring the .ini File
After you edit the .ini file, you must save it on your PC and then, transfer it to your
mobile computer.

Reserved .ini File Values
You can use the CURRENTCARD literal instead of an explicit path in the .ini file to
indicate that iLaunch should use its internal search path to determine which storage
options are available and replace CURRENTCARD with the path to that storage
option. This allows the use of the same .ini file on multiple devices with different
storage options.
The order of preference for non-volatile storage is:
•
SDMMC disk
•
SD card
•
Storage card
•
Flash File Store
•
CK_FFS
•
DiskOnChip
•
Program Files
For example if Button1 of the [exe] section contains:
\CURRENTCARD\testapp\app1.exe
when iLaunch encounters the CURRENTCARD tag, it finds the first available
directory from the search path and replaces CURRENTCARD with that path. On a
700 Color computer with a Secure Digital card installed, the first path found would
be \SDMMC Disk, so Button1 of the [exe] section would point to \SDMMC
Disk\testapp\app1.exe.
Note: Although CURRENTCARD is available, specify the path and file name when
possible to prevent issues that might occur if the storage options on the storage
device are changed.
Starting iLaunch
iLaunch automatically starts up on a warm or cold boot if the .cab file
installed properly.
To restart iLaunch
1 On a Mobile Operating System:
•
Select Start > Intermec Launcher
•
Select Start > Programs > the Intermec Launcher icon.
Or,
On a CE Operating System:
iLaunch User’s Guide
19
•
Double-tap the Intermec Launcher icon on the PC.
•
Select Start > Programs > iLaunch.
The initial launch screen appears. The screen contains indicators for battery
status and signal strength. The serial number is also displayed on this screen
for all computers except the CK30 computer.
2 Tap Status to view the status screen, which displays the IP status, the MAC
address of the WLAN radio, authentication type, and the serial number of the
computer. Note that the CV60 computer does not display battery status as it
does not use a battery.
3 Tap Exit to go to the Exit screen, and then enter your six-character password to
close iLaunch.
4 Tap Keyboard for an onscreen keyboard or Soft Input Panel (SIP) keyboard with
which to enter your password.
.
Note: Because the CK30 has no touch screen, the iLaunch application displays
numbers next to each button to navigate to the specified application. You can also
use the Tab and Enter keys to select any button. From the Status and Exit screens,
press Esc to go to the previous screen and press Enter to go to the next screen.
20
iLaunch User’s Guide
Windows Mobile computers can use the application keys to switch between
applications. The Windows CE operating system does not provide this option. On
the CV60 computer, use the taskbar at the bottom of the screen to switch between
applications without closing them. On mobile computers with smaller screen sizes
or those using the Windows CE operating system, use the small icon in the lower
right to display a list of running applications and choose between them.
Although iLaunch attempts to block a user from accessing other parts of the
system, other applications launched from within iLaunch may allow the user
to access other parts of the system. One known example of this is Internet
Explorer. If Internet Explorer is left as an option, an experienced user may
access the file system through Internet Explorer. To prevent this, examine all
applications launched from within iLaunch to determine what type of system
security risk each would represent.
Error Messages
When a problem occurs trying to launch an application, the full text of the error is
displayed. On the CV60 computer, the error number is displayed instead of the full
text. Visit http://msdn.microsoft.com and search for the error number for more
details.
Uninstalling iLaunch
You can uninstall iLaunch from the mobile computer or PC.
Uninstalling iLaunch From the Mobile Computer

Versions of iLaunch
The evaluation version and terminal emulation version of iLauch are available.
Evaluation Version of iLaunch
Evaluation versions of iLaunch are available. These versions allow some restricted
use. iLaunch performs normally with the exception that it occasionally brings up a
reminder that the version of iLaunch used is only an evaluation version. You have 60
days from the date you first start using the evaluation version of iLaunch to either
purchase a license or stop using iLaunch. If you decide to purchase licenses for
iLaunch, contact your Intermec representative. A license is required for each device
that runs iLaunch. The part number to purchase a single license is 235-107-001.
22
iLaunch User’s Guide
TE 2000 Version of iLaunch
The terminal emulation version (TE 2000) of the iLaunch application is slightly
modified from the regular version. The TE 2000 version comes with an .ini file that
already points to the locked-down applications iBrowse and TE 2000. The TE 2000
version also sets the application keys: Application Key 1 starts TE 2000, Application
Key 2 starts iBrowse, Application Keys 3 and 4 start iLaunch. You can add two other
locked-down applications to the Menu.ini file this version of iLaunch uses.
Securing the System on a Cold Boot
The Launcher .cab file include a utility called Sysstart.exe. When you add the
SysStart utility to the Autorun.dat file, the utility runs at startup to prevent the user
from accessing the system during startup and .cab file extraction. SysStart is not
added to the Autorun.dat file.
Note: NVStorage refers to the type of nonvolatile storage used in the computer.
To use SysStart.exe
1 Copy the Launcher .cab file to the 700 Color Computer and extract it.
2 Rename \NVStorage\2577\autorun.dat to
\NVStorage\2577\autorunOLD.dat
3 Copy \NVStorage\launcher\autorunXX.dat to \NVStorage\2577
XX is CF if your storage card is a CompactFlash card or SD if your storage card is
a Secure Digital card.
4 Rename \NVStorage\2577\autorunXX.dat to \NVStorage\2577\autorun.dat
Although SysStart attempts to block users from other parts of the system,
other applications launched at system startup may still start up, creating
only a partial lock down of the computer.
Known Issues
If owner information is set to appear at startup, the owner information shows up on
top of iLaunch.
To disable displaying the owner information
1 Tap Start > Settings, then tap Owner Information.
2 Clear the Show information when device is turned on checkbox.
