Windows CE restores default configuration after restart (Motorola MC3190)

windowswindows-ce

Good morning, everyone!
I have a problem with Motorola MC3190 hand scanner running on Windows CE.
I've got few of those to make a new program for some kind of warehouse. There is already installed program which have been used by the customers before, so I delete this one and instead I install my new software which I've just made. It is running very well, but when I take out the battery and leave the device for entire night without power supply, it restores the whole configuration, so the old program is back, the wireless configuration is back and… Yeah. The scanner is restored to the configuration which was running when I received it few weeks ago. What I want to do is to set the whole configuration of the scanner so after a long power-off my program and my configuration will be restored.
I truly believe someone knows how to do it. The time is running out, and I believe that the customer will be kind of annoyed when he will change the battery and the program which he bought will be gone. 😉

Regards,
Jarek

Ok, this is the easiest solution I've found. Maybe someone will have similiar problem one day. I did not found how to save configuration of the wireless/other stuff, but I know that files placed in the \\Application and \\Platform folders are not deleted after long poweroff. On Motorola MC3190 both folders are accessible from the Windows CE level.

**Edit: To save the configuration of the wireless, you have to export options and export all profiles (and save them en Application or Platform) (Wireless Applications Menu>Options>Export)
