As a mobile user, when you move your computer to a new location, you
typically have to change settings like your default printer, network
shares, etc. In some locations you want to synchronize files, make a
backup or auto-start programs. NeighborhoodIdentifier enables you to
pre-configure location profiles based upon the availability of a
computer name, share, url, ip address etc. Next the profiles will be
launched automatically at start-up. Specifically for Laptop users NI is
a time saver.

- Create a new profile from the menu.
- Define a neighborhood identifier.
You can use the name of a another computer like a server or an
network share path that should exists. But you can also use an IP
address or URL, the user name that should be logged on or a file
path that should exist.
- Setup an action in a batch file or by directly calling a program
to execute when the identifier can be found or not.
- There are many thinks you can tune at startup with lot's of
useful utilities you can call from batch files. For some tips how to use
NeighborhoodIdentifier to the max, see the links below.

For automation purposes there are several command-line switches you can
use:
-execute
-debug
The execute switch is used to start NI in silent mode and launch batch files or
programs based on your profiles. This switch is automatically set by the program
when launched with Windows is selected in the program settings. The debug switch
creates a log file with information for debug purposes.
Example:
c:\program files\neighborhoodidentifier\ni.exe –execute -debug
