Microstation V8i R10 AEC Shortcut

Question

I am using Microstation V8i release 10. I am following the AEC_WS_001_Managers_Guide for setting up a shortcut with the target as follows: 
 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries)\MicroStation\ustation.exe" -ws_USTN_SITE=C:\AEC_WS_001\Workspace\Standards\ 
 The AEC_WS_001 folder is in the root C:\folder. 
 It is not loading the workspace. 
 Any suggestions 
 
 Thanks

The first thing I'm noticing is that your slashes are going the wrong way. 
 C:\AEC_WS_001\Workspace\Standards\ is correct for a standard Windows path definition, but MicroStation config variables require the unix style forward slashes for path definitions. 
 Reverse the slashes in your definition so that it reads C:/AEC_WS_001/Workspace/Standards/

the WS switch does not load the workspace it sets a configuration. 
 I found the document you show and it is very misleading. They have wrong terminology as well as misprinted configuration data. 
 I would contact the people who posted this article/document - they may be able to point you to what they are attempting to do.
