### 4. Launching Multiple Accounts (Batch File)

You can create a batch file (e.g. `start.bat`) to launch multiple characters. Example:

```

Since you can store all of their details when you run the setup, however you will be responsible for managing your own login_w.bin files and setting them up in a way to use this application. But as an example you could have something like the following for the batch script.
