If you have a shortcut to SL on your desktop, just rightclick and hit properties.

Hit the shorcut tab.

You can add on the -multiple there

hope that helps

Hi. Do you mean when you had to download new client software? In which case, you'll need to add the '-multiple' line to the shortcut again.

Rename the modified SL shortcut. Then it won't get clobbered each time the SL client gets upgraded.

It used to work just fine for me until one of the recent upgrades. Now it won't work. I checked my properties to see if i had to re-ad the "-multiple" and it looks the same as always.

Here's what is in the Properties - Target - Shortcut:
"C:\Program Files\SecondLife\SecondLife.exe" -multiple

Any ideas? Used to work fine. I haven't changed anything.

Appreciate any help.

hmmmm only thing I can think of is you changed it in the Start In: line, instead of the Target: line

Does it have to be done in the shortcut? Can I just open properties in the program list? I will download the new client and try the shortcut again.
