Automatically Launching Humly Wayfinding In Browser in Fullscreen

Follow the below steps in this order to achieve this with the edge browser on a windows machine.

  • Right-click on your Desktop and choose New > Shortcut.
  • In the location field, paste the following:   "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --app="https://22175.humly.cloud/hcp/way-finding/4" --start-fullscreen

If Edge is installed in a different location, update the path to the executable. Also, replace the Wayfinding URL with your own wayfinding URL.

  • Click Next.
  • Name the shortcut (e.g. Humly Wayfinding).
  • Click Finish.

Auto Start Wayfinding after logging in

The content in the location field from step 2 will serve as the target for the shortcut. It ensures that Wayfinding opens in full-screen mode and as a Microsoft Edge web application. To add the shortcut to Windows Startup folder follow these steps:

1.    Press Win + R, to open up Run.
2.    Enter the following: shell:startup.
3.    Press Enter—this opens the Startup folder.
4.    Copy and paste your shortcut on your Desktop into this folder.
5.    Restart your computer.

The shortcut will now automatically launch Edge in full screen every time Windows starts.
