Cold reboot removes _all_ files in normal application directories, so
nothing would be around to execute. Several versions of Windows CE
(Pocket PC 2002 and Pocket PC 2003 at least) support an autorun
facility. For more info, use google
(http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search) to look up
autorun
in microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer

Sure, make it read-only on your "desktop" (other end of the ActiveSync
connection) and _then_ copy it over.

This topic is discussed every couple of weeks, so google _will_ help
you find more info. Unfortunately, the questions can be asked in many
ways so finding a good search string is challenging. I can't think of
a good one offhand, but the search for autorun is close.
