During installation, the toxik.ini file is created. These files can be found in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Autodesk Toxik 2009\etc.You can disable any of these files by adding the pound sign (#) before the toxik.ini file name.
The following table lists the initialization variables as they appear in the Toxik initialization file. If you specify the command line argument, the argument takes priority over the environment variable and the initialization variable. If you specify the environment variable, then it takes priority over the initialization variable.
Note: toxik.bat accepts a maximum of nine startup arguments; extra arguments are ignored. For example, specifying a user (-user <user_name> ) counts as two arguments.
