If by any change, theinternet connection is lost and users cannot login to the Welcome Screen, users can use our settings shortcut, CTRL+ALT+S on their keyboard to enter Quicklaunch settings. In some cases, accessing Quicklaunch settings will require entering either a Quicklaunch exclusive passcode, or entering Administrative credentials.
