===== Link an existing Workstation to data set =====
If you are linking to an existing dataset (i.e. from a backup, etc.)
  - Launch System Five from desktop shortcut.
  - Select “Link workstation to the existing networked company” and click next
  - Browse to Mapped network drive location [Drive]:\System5\Data (Or where 'Data' folder has another name eg: “MyCompany”)and click next
  - Assign an available terminal number and click ‘Next’
  - You will then receive a message stating that “your terminal has been setup”. Click 'Finish' to continue.

===== Modifying Desktop Shortcut to prevent terminal ID change =====
  - Right-click the shortcut and select 'Properties'
  - In the 'Target' box, ensure that the line reads C:\Windward\System5\Bin\systemfive.exe
  - At the end of that line add the command ' /Forcemachine=#' where # is the assigned terminal number
  - Printer settings are terminal-specific, the above command prevents users from inadvertently changing a terminal number on a workstation thereby losing the ability to print
  - Additionally, you can use the optional command 'smallsplash' to make the splashscreen smaller.
  - Full target line in shortcut properties would be as follows: '[Drive]:\Windward\System5\Bin\systemfive.exe /smallsplash forcemachine=#' where # is assigned a terminal number.
  - In the 'Start In' box in shortcut properties, make the entry '[Drive]:\System5\Data'. This will lock that shortcut to a specific data set (Should you have more than one ie: A Training Data Set)\\
