Say what?!? Oh man...ok, I'm out of my leaque here.  Sorry guys.  I'll try to find someone local to walk me through this. This is all Chinese to me.

Edit:  I'll pay some DASH for someone to create a simple step-by-step noob guide for running multi wallets.  I'll offer 5 DASH.

1) Right-click dash-qt.exe, click "create shortcut"
2) Right-click the shortcut, click properties, and change the line "target:", to read:
Quote
"C:\Program Files\Dash\dash-qt.exe" -wallet=wallet1.dat

That's it, you're done... use that shortcut to access this specific wallet
Ok...so address this couple steps at a time.  I don't want to use the users/yourname/appdata/roaming/DASH  problem one.  Can I move this all into a single wallet specific folder?  

second...im running windows 10 on all my machines...when I right click a shortcut...there is no line called "target"
Honestly, I would just do this.
Create a folder anywhere you want.  If you just go do C: drive and create a folder and name it dash we should have this as your location:
C:\dash
copy the dash-qt.exe into this folder.   Right click copy, right click paste.  If you don't know where this is then download the windows .zip file from dash.org or below
https://www.dash.org/binaries/dash-0.12.0.56-win64.zip   Open this, double click on bin, right click on dash-qt.exe and copy, then right click on C:\dash folder and paste.
right click the dash-qt.exe and create shortcut.
Look in that same folder you should see dash-qt.exe with either a - Shortcut or a small arrow on the icon. That is your new shortcut.  Now right click change to "C:\dash\dash-qt.exe" -wallet=wallet1.dat   On the General tab you can rename this to something else.
Go back to where the older dash-qt.exe is and start it up.  Click file - backup.  Save the existing wallet to c:\dash\wallet.dat and close.

Go to the C:\dash directory, Click on the the new dash-qt.exe without the arrow and it will download the blockchain and you should have your old wallet.  The dash-qt.exe - Shortcut(or with an arrow) is your second wallet.

This shouldn't be that hard should it....Sorry.  I hope that all makes sense.

As for no Target: line in windows 10.  This could be called program location: or program:  (It is not the start in: box)  On windows 8 it is under the shortcut tab which you may have to click to get to it.
