 +
 +This page describes how you can use a Windows Shortcut so WikiTaxi automatically opens a ''*.taxi'' database at start-up.
 +
 +You will probably have have your ''WikiTaxi.exe'' and your ''*.taxi'' database file in the same folder. First right-click the ''WikiTaxi.exe'' symbol with the mouse to open the context menu. Then select the //Create Shortcut// item.

 +
 +Windows will create a new Shortcut file in the same folder. Right-click its icon to open the context menu and select the //Properties// item.

 +{{ shortcut_2.png }}
 +
 +The properties dialog displays and allows to add a command line argument to the ''WikiTaxi.exe'' target.

 +
 +Type the name of your ''*.taxi'' database after ''WikiTaxi.exe'', separated by a space. In this example, add the file name ''simple.taxi''.
 +
 +{{ shortcut_4.png }}
 +
 +Close the properties dialog by clicking OK. Then double-click the new shortcut icon to test if it starts up WikiTaxi and automatically opens the specified database.
 +
 +You can create multiple shortcuts, for multiple language databases. At last, rename the shortcuts to match the database.
