Daethic Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Hi there. I'd like some discussion whether I could run launchbox on an exclusive User Profile or OS. The point here is that atm, I would have to launch it myself and it kinda takes away from the idea of having an immersive big box if you must launch it.

You can add it to the startup folder in windows so that it launches at boot, you can do this with any program. Just google start program at boot.

Daethic Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 But can I have a separate user profile created just for this purpose that does not interfere with my main usage profile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daethic Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 Not quite, google is quite unfriendly. This question belongs on launchbox forums really as it's a specific issue which google isn't exactly fond of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klopjero Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) that depends. if you have installed launchbox in your user profile (C:\users\*your profile*) then yes, unless you give the other user account that will run launchbox rights to access that folder you will not be able to run the app. This is probably not the case. to my knowledge launchbox/bigbox wil not write data into your userprofile but will instead contain everything in it's own folder structure. if you encounter issues running LB/BB with a different user you should check if the user has rights to the folder. (right clck folder, check security and see if the user has read/write or full control priviliges on the folder where LB/BB resides) in other words it should not be a problem, and if so you can fix it. *edit* this is about LB BB.. it is very possible that some emulators WILL write configs/saves into your profile.. some crappy emu's will even demand admin rights Edited February 12, 2019 by Klopjero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
