It is also possible to have SpecView Remote start automatically when the computer is started using SpecView's Command Line options.

To do this:

1. Edit the shortcut properties of the SV3 icon on the desktop to add -r <connection name>

         For example: C:\SV3\sv3.exe -r 'Factory Floor'

2. Copy the shortcut to the Startup folder.
