How do I launch a session from the command line

In version 8.x, sessions are now stored in .xw32 files on the local computer rather than in registry as in previous versions.

To launch a session from the command line type:
“C:\Program Files\StarNet\X-Win32 8.1\xwin32.exe” /session “path to session”\session.xw32

The .xw32 files also have a file association with the xwin32.exe. You simply need to supply the file in the command line and the session will automatically start up. Double clicking on the .xw32 session file accomplishes the same thing.

For example, If the session “mysession.xw32” was located in the Shared Sessions folder. To launch the session from the command line you would enter:

“C:\Program Files\StarNet\X-Win32 8.1\Sessions\mysession.xw32”
