UI-View32 Multiple Configurations

If you wish to create different configurations for UI-View32 - perhaps one for home use and one for mobile use - then you can do it by using the confign.vbs ('n' is a number) VBScript files, which you will find in the UI-View32 program folder.

Creating the first configuration

Close UI-View32 if it is running. Browse to the UI-View32 program folder in Windows Explorer, and double click config1.vbs.

You will be asked if you wish to create a shortcut for it on the desktop. You are advised to say 'Yes'. You can delete the shortcut or move it somewhere else once it has been created, and you are only asked the question the first time the script is run.

If you say you want to create a shortcut, then you will be prompted to input a name for it, so input an appropriate name, for example "UI-View32 Home".

The shortcut will be created on your desktop, and UI-View32 will start. Configure the program as you require for this particular use. In future, when you wish to use this UI-View32 configuration, all you need to do is double click the shortcut on the desktop.

Creating a second configuration

Close UI-View32 if it is running. Browse to the UI-View32 program folder in Windows Explorer, and double click config2.vbs.

You will be asked if you wish to create a shortcut for it on the desktop - see above. Give this shortcut an appropriate name for your second configuration, for example "UI-View32 Mobile".

The shortcut will be created on your desktop, and UI-View32 will start. Configure the program as you require for this particular use. In future, when you wish to use this UI-View32 configuration, all you need to do is double click the shortcut on the desktop.

Creating further configurations

Do exactly the same as for your second configuration, but use config3.vbs and config4.vbs. If you need more than four configurations, then make copies of config1.vbs and call them config5.vbs, config6.vbs, etc.

Updating a configuration

Any changes you make to the set-up of UI-View32, when you are running a particular configuration, will automatically be remembered for the next time you start that configuration.

If Windows does not know how to open the script files

If you find that, when you try and run the script files, Windows does not know how to open them, then you need to download and install Windows Script from Microsoft Windows Script Downloads

 .


The script must be run from the UI-View32 program folder
Error - The script must be run in the UI-View32 program folder

This script file must be run either from the UI-View32 program folder, or by using a shortcut that changes the working directory to the UI-View32 program folder. You appear to have started the script in a folder that does not contain uiview32.exe.


Make a shortcut on the desktop?

When you are prompted to make a shortcut the script file on the desktop, you are advised to say 'Yes'. You can delete the shortcut or move it somewhere else once it has been created, and you are only asked the question the first time the script is run.


Input a name for the shortcut

Input a name that is relevant to what this UI-View32 configuration will be used for. For example "UI-View32 Home" or "UI-View32 Mobile". Do not make the name too long, or Windows will not display it all on the desktop.

Only use valid file name characters, the following characters between the brackets are not valid in file names - ( \ / : * ? " < > | ) If your shortcut name includes invalid characters, you will receive an error message, and you will be prompted to input it again.


Not a valid file name character

You have used a character in your shortcut name that is not valid in a file name. The following characters between the brackets are not valid in file names - ( \ / : * ? " < > | )


UI-View32 is already running

You are trying to use this script to start UI-View32, but the program is already running.
