GoldMine Auto Login

GoldMine Setup for Auto-login Icon on Desktop

If you would like to create an icon on your desktop to automatically log you into your GoldMine user, please follow this guide. If you have an icon that automatically logs you in and you would like that to stop, follow steps 2-5 but instead of adding the additional fields, remove them from your Target field.

 

NOTE: To be able to setup the icon on your desktop, you will need to know your GoldMine username and password. If you do not know this information, you will need to send an email to support@vdinetworks.com for a GoldMine password reset.

 

1. Make sure you are logged in on your hosted VDI Networks system.

 

2. On the desktop, right-click your GoldMine Icon and select "Create Shortcut" 

  • A warning should appear saying "you cannot create a shortcut here, place icon on desktop instead?" click Yes

3. On your new GoldMine icon, right-click the icon and go to Properties

4. Go to the Shortcut tab

5. In the "Target" field, you should see something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\GoldMine\gmw.exe" Add the following to the end of the "Target" field to auto login to your user:

  • For username, add "/u:YourUsernameHere"
  • For passwords, add "/p:YourPasswordHere"

6. After adding those fields, your Target field should look like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\GoldMine\gmw.exe" /u:Username /p:Password

 

 

If you attempt to apply the changes and it asks you for admin privileges, please make sure you have done Step 2 in this guide.
