Title: Is there a way to launch MC to a specific user?
Post by: CHaun on May 02, 2020, 05:43:39 am

I want to make a desktop shortcut for one of my client machines to open MC to a specific user. What is the proper way (if any) to launch MC in that way? I can use the core command 22028 to change the user while MC is running, but I don't know the proper syntax to make the core commands launch MC to those users if it is not running already.

Hi CHaun,

This is what I'm using (earlier post on how to handle users):

Maybe not ideal and/or the most fancy way:
In order to 'force' a Client to have a default or preferred user a script (bat file) needs to be started at start-up/reboot with a MCC command line: mc26.exe /MCC 22028,xxxx where the x's are the target userID.

Hoping this could be of any help,

Take care and stay safe !

Thanks for that. Making a batch file worked perfectly.

Here's an example if anyone needs it in the future:

@echo off
Start "" "C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 26\Media Center 26.exe"
Timeout 20 /nobreak >nul
Start mc26.exe /MCC 22028,1002
