The GoldMine Blog - Tips, Tricks & More

Here's a very common question in the GoldMine world...

"I double-click my GoldMine icon and the username is auto-filled incorrectly!".

The username that appears is probably derived from your network/computer login; however, you may want something different like your first name or your standard GoldMine login.

If you do a Right-Click | Properties on the GoldMine shortcut on your desktop you'll see something like this:

If you'd like to over-ride what's in the username field when you're logging in then all you need to do is append a /u:USERNAME to the end of the target.  Like this:

So the shortcut becomes:

c:\goldmine\gmw6.exe /u:chad 

You can also have it input your password for you as well by appending a /p:password (Where password is your actual password) after the /u:username. So it'd be:

c:\goldmine\gmw6.exe /u:chad /p:password

Enjoy!
