There are several command line options in PNotes:
| 1. | -x - will close current PNotes instance |
| 2. | -xs - will close PNotes instance in silent mode, saving all unsaved notes without prompting, if appropriate option ("Save all on exit") is selected on Preferences window (Misc page) |
| 3. | -xn - will close PNotes instance without saving any unsaved note, overriding all preferences settings |
| 4. | -b - will perform full backup (in this case you may add optional backup directory path) |
| 5. | -c - will create new note |
| 6. | -cr - will create new note from clipboard |
| 7. | -cd - will create or show today's Diary note |
| 8. | -nonetwork - will start the program without network support (i.e. notes exchange will be disabled) |
| 9. | -conf or -config - allows to define a number of paths/file names in following order |
| .1. | Configuration file (Notes.ini) path - required. Send empty string - "" - in order to use the default location. |
| .2. | Data folder path another than default (the default is application folder) - optional. |
| .3. | External launcher path (if any presented, for example PortableApps launcher) - optional. |
| .4. | Path/directory of notes.pnid file (the default is "data" folder) - optional. |

10. -confnonetwork or -confignonetwork - the same as -conf or -config, but without network support
If there is no such file/directory, the new one will be created.
Usage:
"C:\PNotes\PNotes.exe" -xs
"C:\PNotes\PNotes.exe" -conf "C:\Documents and Settings\Configuration"
"C:\PNotes\PNotes.exe" -conf "C:\Documents and Settings\Configuration" "C:\Documents and Settings\Data" "" "" "C:\Documents and Settings\Data\PNotesSkins" "" "C:\Documents and Settings\Data\PNotesLanguages"
"C:\PNotes\PNotes.exe" -conf "" "C:\Documents and Settings\Data" "" "D:\New location\notes.pnid"
"C:\PNotes\PNotes.exe" -conf "C:\Documents and Settings\Configuration" "C:\Documents and Settings\Data" "C:\PortablePNotes\PortablePNotes.exe"
In case of -conf or -config (-confnonetwork or -confignonetwork) switch, the program will not check other switches.
