System Requirements Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
Compatibility Safe XP has been successfully tested and developed under Windows 98 and XP.
It also works under all versions of Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP and 2003.
Command Line Safe XP allows working with command line parameters now. It could be helpful if you use SafeXP in any network environment.
Syntax for execution from the command line is as follows:
SafeXP.exe <configuration-file>
where <configuration-file> is the name of the previously saved file.
Example:
SafeXP c:\safexp\safexp.dat
This will start Safe XP in minimized (invisible mode), load values from c:\safexp\safexp.dat. Then it will apply values into the running/calling workstation. After execution program will be closed automatically.
In network (domain) environment, you can copy both SafeXP.exe and (for instance) SafeXP.dat files to the Netlogon share to load your predefined Safe XP settings silently to every workstation which is connected to the network.
The command-line parameter is optional. If no parameter is specified, the program will start normally.
