Command Line Options
Dolphin includes a variety of command line options that may be useful for scripts, development, or debugging. Basic help and usage for them can be shown by running "Dolphin --help". The options are as follows:

A shortcut file on Windows can be customized with command line arguments to a specific Dolphin build. First create a shortcut to the executable of the Dolphin build desired, then open the shortcut's properties and edit the target field. After the path to dolphin, add an argument like --logger, then save. Using --logger as an example, the shortcut will then launch the Dolphin with its logger window opened. The -u option will override the portable.txt file. The --help option is a CLI message, only command line window can view it.

Portable.txt

 * See also how to control the user directory on Windows PC.

Dolphin will check if that file exists in the same directory, then it will not use the default user directory; instead, it will create a \User\ folder in the same directory as the executable.
