User Profile: opening Acad with custom profile

    Suddenly my Acad (arch desktop 3.3) reverted back to to the generic
    "architectural desktop" user profile.
    don't know why.
    I still have my custom profiles, but now the program always loads w/ the
    generic profile and I have to manually swith to my profile.
    Can't recall how to set Acad to open w/ my profile.

    Can anyone out there jog my memory?

    thanks

    wow, that was fast!
    Target line says:
    "C:\Program Files\Autodesk Architectural Desktop 3\acad.exe" /t "Aec Arch
    (Imperial - Intl).dwt" /p "C:\Program Files\Autodesk Architectural Desktop
    3\adt.arg"

    btw, I just fooled Acad into opening my profile by changing it's name to
    "architectural desktop" instead of the custom name I had been using. seems
    to work.... but I'd rather find out the proper way to fix this.

    thanks

    that's it! thanks.
    I just went to the target line, changed the name of the .arg file to one of
    my existing profile names....and it worked.

    I wonder how it got changed in the first place?
