KuKInit is a startup-program included in all Seco Board Support Packages (Microsoft). Functions and Keys might differ between OS- and Trizeps-versions.

Show and Hide Cursor

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\KUKINIT]
  "HideCursor"=dword:0   :Do not hide cursor.
                     1   :Hide cursor.
                     2   :Check for USB-mouse and show/hide cursor depending on that.

Launch Custom Applications

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\KUKINIT]
  "LaunchCustom"         ="application to launch"
  "LaunchCmdLine"        ="cmd-line to parse to application"
  "LaunchDelay"          =dword:n    :time in ms to wait, before application is launched.
  "LaunchExplorerInstead"=dword:0    :Do not launch explorer.exe if application is missing.
                                1    :Launch explorer.exe if application is missing.

The Launch-keys allow KuKInit to launch a custom application. If you don't want the explorer ( this is the WinCE-desktop) to show up on start, remove it from:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init]
  "Launch50"

If LaunchExplorerInstead-key is set to 1, the WinCE-desktop will run, if LaunchCustom-application is not found.

Software Input Panel

Processor ID

It sometimes is usefull to change the processor-ID, if applications or drivers complain during install.

The true processor-type and processor-instruction-set is stored in:

Auto-Starts and Auto-Update

KuKinit attempts to automatically run application from connected storage-media. This can be your custom application or it can be an update-program. To control autostart use these registry-keys:

The following load-order is used. Only the first found is run.

\SDMMC Card\update.bat
\SDMMC Card\update.exe
\Storage Card\update.bat
\Storage Card\update.exe
\Hard Disk\update.bat
\Hard Disk\update.exe
\Flashdisk\autoexec.bat
\Flashdisk\auto.exe
\Flashdisk\auto.vb

USB-Slave

USB-Host

Touch Calibration

On default KuKInit calls the calibration-application, when

does not exist. After successfull calibration this key is created.

To override this you can put a file named 'Calibrate' or 'NoCalibrate' on a store. If it is found in \SDMMC Card, \Storage Card, \Hard Disk or \Flashdisk, this setting is used.

WLAN-Settings (Windows Embedded Compact 7 / 2013)

As of Compact7, the OS uses the Connection-Manager instead of Wireless-Zero-Config to manage wireless configurations. The XML-file used is the same, as on the big Desktop Windows.

WlanProfile:
Parameter passed to KWlantool.exe, to load a WLAN-Profile during startup.
If you use the taskbar-wlan-tool, the configuration will be stored to \Windows\wlan\CommonAppData\Microsoft\Wlansvc\Profiles\Interfaces\{<Interface GUID>}\{<Profile GUID>}.xml. In this sample you may store <Profile GUID>.xml to \flashdisk\wlanprofile.xml.

WlanEnableDelay:
Time in milli-seconds to delay loading of profile.
