Starting Mail Attachment Downloader [MAD] using a shared profile folder

Occasionally it will be best to start MailAttachmentDownloader.exe from a shared profile folder, reasons might be:

• Use of a single licence by multiple users on a PC
• Access to a shared configuration, typically on a server

You can run MailAttachmentDownloader.exe --help to list launch options.

Suggested configuration:

1. Create a batch file to launch MailAttachmentDownloader.exe with the options -c (or --config-dir) and -l (or --local-pwd). -c takes in a config directory that both admins have access to.

2. MailAttachmentDownloader.exe --config-dir "C:\MAD\SharedConfig" --local-pwd

3. Make sure the batch file is always Run as administrator with admin rights

Alternatively a desktop shortcut could be created of the form:

start "MAD Custom Launch" "C:\Program Files\GearMage\Mail Attachment Downloader Pro v3.2\MailAttachmentDownloader.exe" --config-dir "C:\MAD\SharedConfig" --local-pwd
