How do I get my user profile to open when I load Civil? It reverts back to the original settings and I cannot remember how to get it to stay.

How do I get my user profile to open when I load Civil? It reverts back to the original settings and I cannot remember how to get it to stay.
Use the /p 'switch' in the Application Icon's Target path.
Example:
Edit - These may also be of use:Code:"C:\Program Files\<YourInstallFolder>\acad.exe" /ld "C:\Program Files\adsk_c3d_2011\AecBase.dbx" /p "<<YourProfileName>>"

Don't forget to also change the Workspace Settings to have your customized one set from the "My Workspace" drop down.
Huh... One would think after 10 days, some sort of response would be posted... did the suggestion work?
We load a script (SCR) from the Icon's Target path (via the /b switch) which sets our workspace for us at startup, as we had some issues with relying on the CUI default workspace.

What about when you go to Start > Programs... is the Default AutoCAD Icon's Target path also greyed out?
If not, then you can simply copy this icon, and modify to suite.
If so, then you're best bet is to learn Visual LISP, and use the the VLISP Object model to set your desired profile current from ACAD.lsp (a user defined file).
Note that many CAD Managers use ACAD.lsp for implementing updates, etc.. I good way to find out is to use (findfile "ACAD.lsp") at the command line. If a path returns, then you can determine if this is something you can edit or not. If nil is returned then make your own.

Thanks for the reply. I found the original program icon in the Program Files folder and created a new shortcut that I was able to edit.
