The following command-line options can be used to change the behavior of several AIDA64 properties and features:
/SILENT
This option can be used to hide AIDA64 icon on the System Tray (also known as Notification Area) including the bubble shown on specific events under Windows 2000 and later operating systems.
/SHOWED
Using this option a dialog box appears before sending the report in e-mail. This is useful for helpdesk purposes, since the dialog box appearing enables the user to enter special comments about his/her issue. This option must be used with the /E command-line option.
Example: AIDA64 /E helpdesk@company.com /SHOWED /MHTML /HW /SILENT /SAFE
/SHOWP
Using this option together with /R, /E or /FTPUPLOAD options the report creation progress can be tracked on the screen, but no user intervention during the report creation progress is allowed (ie. the user cannot stop the report creation process). This option is useful to let users know that their computer slows down during the report creation because their computer is audited by AIDA64, and they can visually track the completion of the audit process. This options also useful for debugging purposes, for example when AIDA64 has a crash on one of the information pages, using /SHOWP the problemous page can be identified easier.
/SHOWPCANCEL
Using this option together with /R, /E or /FTPUPLOAD options the report creation progress can be tracked on the screen, and user intervention during the report creation progress is allowed (ie. the user can stop the report creation process).
/SHOWS
Using this option together with /R, /E or /FTPUPLOAD options the startup process of AIDA64 can be tracked on the screen. This option is useful to let users know that their computer slows down during the startup of AIDA64 because their computer is audited by AIDA64. This options also useful for debugging purposes, for example when AIDA64 has a crash right at its startup.
/STAY
This option can be used to keep AIDA64 running in the background after report creation. It is useful when Network Alerting is used together with /R, /E or /FTPUPLOAD options.
/NOICONS
This option can be used to skip the loading of icons. It is useful to save network bandwidth and system resources, but should be used in network audit when the reports are created in non-MHTML format.
/INIFILE <inifile>
This option can be used to get AIDA64 to use a custom preferences file instead of its default AIDA64.INI. This option is useful when e.g. different e-mail or SQL connection options should be used on different AIDA64 launch instances.
Example: AIDA64 /R \\server\share\folder\$HOSTNAME /CSV /AUDIT /SILENT /SAFE /INIFILE \\server\share\inifolder\accessdb.ini
/DELAY <seconds>
This option can be used to get AIDA64 to wait for a number of seconds at startup, to delay the actual report creation process.
/IDLE
This option sets AIDA64 application process to idle (lowest) priority. It can be used to run the report creation process in the background and still let the actual logged on user seamlessly work on the computer in the same time.
/NOLICENSE
This option can be used to disable and hide all software license related information, including the Software / Licenses page and the "License Information" section on the Operating System / Operating System page.
