Appendix B
Command Line Parameters
This appendix provides information about the
command line parameters available in Virtual
PC for Windows.
If you launch Virtual PC for Windows using the Run command line
interface, you can specify certain parameters.
For example, typing
Virtual PC.exe -quiet
launches Virtual PC for Windows, but does not start up any virtual
machines..
Each command line parameter must be preceded by a hyphen (-). For
example, typing:
Virtual PC.exe -pc windows98 -launch -fullscreen
launches Virtual PC and starts up the virtual machine named
“windows98” in Full Screen mode.
Also, names of virtual machines that contain a space character must
be enclosed in quotation marks. For example, typing:
Virtual PC.exe -pc “Test DOS” -launch
-geometry 320x240
launches Virtual PC and starts up the virtual machine called Test
DOS in a window 320 by 240 pixels.
See the next page for a complete list of command line parameters.
