Create shortcut for other than current user

[bbhulsey]

My apologies in advance if this is the wrong forum for this.  I have no experience with VMWare except as an end user.

In the VMWare Horizon Client 5.5.4 build-19469119 I can connect to a server, then right click on a desktop within that server and select "Create Shortcut To Desktop" in the resulting context menu to create a shortcut directly on my Windows 10 desktop.  This shortcut has a URL that looks something like the following:

vmware-view://vdi.mysite.org/cn=...,ou=entitlements,dc=vdiglobal,dc=vmware,dc=int

Is there a way to modify that URL so that I am prompted for credentials (as if I had de-selected the option "Log in as current user" when connecting to the server)?  Better still is it possible to specify a username and domain (without password) in the URL for the shortcut?

Thanks!

Please check the following documentation page: Running Horizon Client From the Command Line (vmware.com)

I haven't used them myself, but you might find the options you need there.

Thanks MickeyByte, this is indeed helpful.  I was hoping that the URL could be modified as I am guessing this would make the solution 32 and 64 bit independent but it looks like the command line option is going to have to be the way to go.
