On my desktop I have two SH3 Commander links:

"C:\Program Files\SH3 Commander\SH3Cmdr.exe" /l:"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\GreyWolves"

and

"C:\Program Files\SH3 Commander NYGM\SH3Cmdr.exe" /l:"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\NYGM"

So install your SH3 Commander twice into seperate directories. Than rclick on the Desktop Shortcut and change the Target property to add the proper /l:"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\GreyWolves" flag to it. Do the same for the other copy's desktop shortcut. I usually rename the SH3 Commander shortcuts to "GM" and "NYGM" to tell them apart easily.

The flag is a lower case L not a 1 by the way. /l not /1.

I actually have 8 SH3 icons on my desktop. The SH3 Commander, SH3 itself, SH3Patrol or SH3Gen, shortcut to the install directory, shortcut to the career files directory per install.
Hi, Everything worked fine with only 1 SH3 CMDR installed and shows in the add/remove folder. How can you get two installs of SH3 CMDR. I cannot.

Now my previous shortcut for SH3 CMDR to my U-55 SH3 files will not work.

This is really giving me a headache.

I take it that you only have ONE SH3 CMDR 2.5 installed in your program files.

I also cannot figure out what you mean by shortcut directory perinstall.

I'm all confused.

Just by chance, does your SH3 installs have Ubisoft\silenthunterIII

or does it have ubisoft\U-55 for example (using my game) and then one ubisoft\GreyWolves

so that the folder SilentHunterIII does not appear in your Ubisoft folders.....

and then how do I rig up shortcuts for my career files?

Sorry Kylana, but this is very confusing for me. I can get the red shortcuts to the two different games to work, but I cannot get the CMDR to work.
