HOWTO Configure TOAD for Multiple Users on One PC
This applies to version 8.x. It should not be necessary for newer versions.
What do you do when you have to share a PC with another TOADie, but you want to maintain separate profiles?
This procedure worked for me (assume the two users are John and Jane):
- Install TOAD as normal.
- Create a batch file for John
While I use this procedure, your mileage may vary! Use with caution! — Rich Jesse 2006/06/15 21:41
set TOADDIR=C:\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle set TOADUSER=%TOADDIR%\User Files set TOADJOHN=%TOADDIR%\User Files JOHN echo Copying John's environment... copy /y "%TOADJOHN%\*" "%TOADUSER%" "%TOADDIR%\TOAD.exe" echo Saving John's environment... copy /y "%TOADUSER%\*" "%TOADJOHN%" echo Done.
- Manually create the
%TOADJOHN%directory as stated in the example. - Create a shortcut for the batch file.
- Right-click on the shortcut and go to Properties.
- Select "Minimized" in the "Run:" drop down.
- Click "OK".
