SWG Tricks - Running multiple accounts Easily : Star Wars Galaxies Guides

Simple and efective.
The only thing you need to do is Right click the icon in your desktop-->Properties--Target
and in the end of the Target line add -multiple
Looks like that : "C:\Program Files\Sony\Station\Launchpad\LaunchPad.exe" /game:starwars -multiple

thats it!!

How about just editing the cfg file? Thats easy and persists no matter of the shortcut.

Edit:
And it works with station launcher

editing the cfg file doesnt work with Vista for some reason..
The easiest way I have found is to Simple add this word in the spot that i say.

Start->Run and enter the following command.

cmd /c echo [SwgClient]>%HOMEDRIVE%\user.cfg && cmd /c echo allowMultipleInstances=true>>%HOMEDRIVE%\user.cfg && explorer.exe /select,%HOMEDRIVE%\user.cfg

it will open your homedrive folder ( usually C: ) and select the file ready for you to move/copy into your swg folder.

Tested on XP, works fine.

You probably have the (incredibly annoying) UAC(User Account Control) disabled.
When it's turned on, you can pretty much do... nothing.

You have to go to the folder options in vista and select to see all of the file extensions, if you do not, no matter what you name the .cfg file it will always read as a .txt with Vista.

I wasn't looking @ it like that, but for ease of use I guess that would fit just fine. Those of us that know how or are use to playing with cfg files more then likely will think along those lines.

Please see that as a silent contibution...lol..
No yay or Nay required ..I just want to help..
thank you

Nice find. Yay

300 to you and moved to confirmed.

I told you.You did not have to do that !! Admin.
But ....thank you!!
