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 Windows shortcuts, you can add command line switches after path\CliShell.exe in the Target field in the Shortcut Properties dialog box.

The following table lists available Client Shell switches:

or CliShell.exe /profile=Trapeze6

Specifies a profile. The default value is Trapeze6.
