Client Shell Command Line Switches

You can use command line switches when starting the Client Shell from a command line. You can also include switches in Windows shortcuts for launching the Client Shell.

In the Shortcut tab, command line switches appear after path\CliShell.exe in the Target field.

The following table lists and describes available Client Shell switches:
