Once the new computer is connected to the local network, follow these steps to create a shortcut for MaxxTraxx:
Browse to the MaxxTraxx Server:
From the new computer, open File Explorer and browse the network to locate the “Scott Systems” folder on the MaxxTraxx server.
This folder is typically located on the server’s C:\ or D:\ drive.
Locate the MaxxTraxx Program:
Inside the Scott Systems folder, open the “MaxxTraxx Pro” folder.
Find the file named
mxtrxpro.exe— this is the MaxxTraxx executable.

Right-click on
mxtrxpro.exe, hover over “Send To”, then select “Desktop (create shortcut)”.Minimize your windows, and you'll see the new shortcut on the desktop.
Rename the Shortcut:
Right-click on the new desktop icon.
Choose “Rename” and enter “MaxxTraxx” as the new name.
Contact Scott Systems (If Needed):
If you plan to use this new computer at the same time as your other workstations, you will need to fill out the subscription change form Subscription Change Form
