16.1.2 Logging In to Your Mailbox from a Shared Workstation

If you use the same workstation for multiple people, it is highly recommended that each user have a separate login for the workstation. When GroupWise saves the display settings for a user, they are saved to the current user’s registry. This allows GroupWise to display the settings for the user who is currently logged in to the workstation, so each user can have a customized view.

When a user finishes using the workstation, he or she should completely log out of the workstation. This allows other users to log in to the system with their own GroupWise settings.

However, there are circumstances when having a different login for each user on the workstation is not a viable option. In these cases there are some steps you should perform to properly set up GroupWise.

The login screen startup option allows you to specify certain criteria when starting GroupWise. Perform the following steps:

  1. Right-click the GroupWise icon on the desktop, click Properties, then click the Shortcut tab.

  2. In the Target field, after the GroupWise executable, type a space, type /@u-?, then click OK.

  3. Start GroupWise.

  4. Type your user ID in the User ID field.

  5. In the Password field, specify your password, then click OK.
