This is going to be a guide on how to set up your PC to run multiple (more than 4) SMART clients at once.

The Problem
The Solution
This is going to cover the process for creating new user accounts in Win7. If you are using a different version of Windows,
IMPORTANT NOTE: You will never actually be logging on to this account!
Creating User Accounts (Win7)
Here we will be covering the process of creating the batch files that connect our main user account to the file storage of the newly created user accounts. This will allow us to run programs on our account as other users without having to actually log on to those accounts.
Creating the batch files
Congratulations! You're now ready to run bots on top of bots on top of bots! There is no limit to the amount of users you can create, or the amount of SMARTS you can now run. The "limits" will be discovered when your scripts start to fail from lack of processing power. As stated above, this process lowers CPU usage by around 50%, but it will be up to your particular CPU/RAM/GPU as to how many clients you can run without your scripts failing.
To make use of your newly created bots, all you have to do is double-click on the .bat file and it will open Simba and it will be ready for use! You can open this same batch file up to 4 times per user account. If you need more bots, simply start again at step 1 and create more users and batch files!
Possible additional requirement: If you have never entered security credentials into the Windows command prompt before, you will need to enter the password for the newly created user account now.
To verify that you are indeed running your new bots as separate user accounts, open the task manager and verify.
So that's that. Good luck to all my fellow botters out there! Bot safe, Bot SMART, and Bot often!
