Appendix C: Configuring LiteShow for Specific
Environments
Profiles and Menu Options allow the user/administrator to customize LiteShow startup behavior for
particular situations. Here are some examples:
PC always connects to the same display
Create and save a profile for the display. Turn on Auto Profile Connect. Turn off Auto WiFi Connect, if you
will access the display over your normal network connection. Use Auto Change PC Resolution to set a
default action and avoid repetitive startup prompts.
PC connect to a limited number of displays
Create and save a profile for each display – use a descriptive name for each profile. Turn off Auto WiFi
Connect, if you will access the display over your normal network connection. Use Auto Change PC
Resolution to set a default action and avoid repetitive startup prompts.
Running LiteShow on a PC where System Folders are locked down by IT
Run LiteShow from the USB token. From the LiteShow menu, select Copy Application to Desktop. Place
the resulting LiteShow4 folder anywhere in your Documents folder structure and put a link to the
LiteShow4.exe program somewhere easy to find. Then run LiteShow from that folder and configure it
normally – LiteShow will store and use configuration information in the startup folder when it is not
installed in the System Program Files structure.
Locking a USB token to a specific Display
When you run LiteShow from a USB token, it will store and use configuration information in the startup
folder on the USB token. To create a token locked to a specific display, run LiteShow from the token and
follow the same steps as above for “PC always connects to the same display.” Network connect
configuration will be stored on the token and applied at startup. Separate tokens can be configured for
employees and guests to reflect appropriate connection strategies as defined by the administrator.
Rolling out Custom Configurations to Large Installs
Rollout using a script which invokes “LiteShow4.exe /VERYSILENT” to cause LiteShow to install without
prompts and exit after install is complete. Use the same script to distribute custom wps.ini (configuration)
and profile.ini (saved profiles) into the <User>\Appdata\LiteShow4 folder. Both .ini files are simple text
files. Username in profile.ini, for example, can be customized by the rollout script.
