When you run Accessory Manager using a command line, you can add a number of parameters to the executable file name. By adding these parameters, you can control certain aspects of how Accessory Manager runs and its appearance.
For example, if you add the name of a layout file to the command line, Accessory Manager will automatically display the session windows that were open when that layout file was last saved.
