Greetings,
I have purchased a standalone copy of Minecraft that is played on a gaming computer by many children and teens in a public library setting. The gaming computer does not connect to the Internet and is running Windows 7 Home Premium in Limited user profile.
The problem: Whenever the children click shortcut to play minecraft, a window pops up, that looks like scripts running, looking for servers. Then, the launcher window pops up in front of it and after a slight delay, displays the profile name, the option to edit/switch profiles(EEK! NO!), the PLAY OFFLINE BUTTON (YES!!!) and the LOG OUT button (EEEK!! NO!)
An unsuspecting patron accidentally clicked LOG OUT instead of closing the launcher window and I had to switch users, turn on wireless, switch back, and re-enter username and password and log in to minecraft online, switch users again, turn off wireless, and switch back again to make sure it worked.
The question: Is there a way for me to set up this desktop shortcut to minecraft to run the script window and the launcher in the background and automatically select to play offline? I want to make the launcher inaccessible to anyone but myself and a select few fellow tech library staff members. I am not always here and the game is quite popular. I'd hate for anyone to not get to play because I'm not present and able to re-create the log of username and password.
Thank you!
