Adding Switches to Shortcuts

You can add switches to the Contenta Explorer workstation shortcuts if you want to override values stored in the registry.

Users can have more than one shortcut icon for Contenta Explorer on their desktop, that executes the application for alternate Contenta databases and/or Contenta servers. Place the ce.exe shortcuts on the user’s desktop then modify the command as described below.

  1. Right-click on the shortcut icon.
  2. Click Properties.
  3. Click the Shortcut tab to access the command line that executes the Contenta Explorer application.
  4. Add the desired switches to the command line specified in the Target field. Do not include switches inside quotation marks.
  5. Click Apply, and then click OK to apply and save the changes.
