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 .zip file 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, the 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.

No...it is hard for me...and its ok. I'm off to bed. Good thing I leave the tech stuff to my staff or support company, my company would be toast. lol.

I'll leave you with how I would invision this working for simpletons like me....with the following story in the near future.

Lets say I have a couple of kids, John & Suzy. I believe the future is digital currencies and I want to make a wallet for each of my children. In each of their wallets they could have an address for College Fund, Candy money, Favorite Charity...etc etc. in each of their wallets. I also want a wallet for my own personal things and shopping and maybe a wallet for my home business(in the future everyone is using DASH).

I'd want to install all these on my home pc server....someday I'll give lil Johny and Suzy their digital wallets...but for now I manage them all and sock money away for them. Dad(me) knows nothing about computers...and i want to simply create these 3 or 4 wallets with a click of a mouse and just simply label each wallet as DASH Johnny, DASH Suzy and DASH Daddy and DASH ABC Repair...and thats it. I now have 3 or 4 simple digital wallets all self contained and ready for non techie dad to use everyday.

That should be how simple this should be. no config line programing, no moving and copying things around. Until crypto can be that simple to use...no main stream will EVER happen. Thats my thoughts....

I have my main PC at my home office.

I understand, it took me a while to figure out where the wallets and data files were. It isn't obvious and certainly not simple. Just saying it should be easier. Maybe we need a load wallet command and to specify a directory where the wallet is. We could also add an option to create shortcut for loaded wallet.

We will get there....
