Create a Shortcut Icon for Starting the Viewer

You can configure the way the Viewer starts up, for
example, to have it bypass the login screen with the user
name and password (P. 3-3, P. 3-4) by creating a shortcut
icon that specifies Viewer startup options.
Important
• You cannot reconfigure the shortcut icon that is automatically
created on your desktop when you install this software.
• The login password can be easily viewed in the properties of
the shortcut icon. Make sure to take sufficient security
measures when using this feature.
Right-click [Viewer.exe] in the installation folder and

click [Create shortcut].
[Viewer.exe] is located in the following folder by
default:

A dialog box asking whether to create a shortcut on
the desktop is displayed.
Note
<System drive> corresponds to the drive containing the system
files of the operating system. If the operating system is installed
on the C drive, the system drive is the C drive.
