When first delivered, Captivate will launch on a CS20 when you power up the controller. Captivate must be turned off so you can launch FieldGenius, EvidenceRecorder or Layout. This behaviour can be changed.
NOTE: This is automatically configured at installation with the current versions of FieldGenius, EvidenceRecorder and Layout.
To disable the Captivate application from launching at power-up:
- Search online and download an application called "Simple Little Registry Editor"
- Transfer the RegEdit.exe file to a SD card or USB drive
- Open Windows Explorer on the CS20 and browse to the location where the RegEdit.exe file is on your external storage
- Run the RegEdit.exe file, this will open the registry editor
- Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\\ExtPowOpt
- Change PowerOffFromSmartWorx to 0
- Power off and power on
To Enable FieldGenius, EvidenceRecorder or Layout to launch at power-up:
- Once installed, you will see the installed program icon on the Desktop. Tap and hold the icon, and select "Copy" from the context menu that appears.
- Open "My Device"
- Open ":Windows"
- Open "Startup"
- Edit | Paste
- Power off and power on
