In order to set your GoldMine desktop shortcut so that when you log into your GoldMine your "User Name" appears in the window of the log in splash screen, here is what you:

1. Log out of GoldMine and then find the GoldMine icon on your desktop* and "right click" on it and choose "properties."

2. When the GoldMine Properties dialogue window opens, up select the "Shortcut" tab.

3. In the "Target" box add put your cursor at the end of the expression that is already there and add a space and then type a forward slash / followed by the capital letter "U" and your actual GoldMine user name.  There should be NO space between the forward slash / and then a colon  followed by your GoldMine Username.  (Do NOT edit anything that is already in the target window ... you are only appending to what is there.)  When you are done it should look something like this:

"C:\Program Files\GoldMine\gmw.exe" /U:Bob

4. Log back in.  Your user name should now appear in the User window of the GoldMine splash screen!

*NOTE: This must be done at the users workstation!
