Using a GroupWise Startup Option

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

  2. Click the Shortcut tab.

  3. In the Target text box, after the GroupWise executable, type a space, type the startup option(s), then click OK.

    Separate multiple startup options with a space, like this:

    j:\grpwise.exe /ph-pathname /@u-?

    In this example, /ph- is the startup option to specify the path to the post office. The pathname is the path to the post office. The /@u-? option is used to display a login dialog box a user can supply with login information whenever he or she opens GroupWise. This option is useful when two or more users share a workstation but have separate GroupWise Mailboxes.

  4. Restart GroupWise.
