So for people that want to manage their multiple accounts without typing it in everytime in the launcher here is a small batch file that does the trick.

http://pastebin.com/8UQt3jFU

Info:
1. Open notepad and paste the code inside.
2. Adjust the | set _ACCOUNT[1]=someemail@hotmail.com somepassword | to your email and password
3. Adjust the echo 1-acc1 accordingly
4. Save it to your Gw2 directory as .bat file
5. Make a shortcut of the .bat file to your desktop

Extra:
6. Change the name of the shortcut on your desktop to Guild Wars 2
7. Change the icon (LMB->Properties->Change Icon->Select the existing gw2.exe)

Note:
If your password has spaces in it, replace the space with _ inside the .bat file.
Example:
Before: set _ACCOUNT[1]=someemail@hotmail.com some password
After: set _ACCOUNT[1]=someemail@hotmail.com some_password

Extra:
Change the icon of the shortcut on your desktop (RMB properties) and change the name to Guild Wars 2.

Usage:
If you hit enter without filling anything in or an invalid number/text it will perform an update and close the launcher after the update is done.

Note:
I If the game doesnt launch then you need to login on that account first through the launcher. This probably has to do with the local.dat in appdata which needs to store the account there first? I might be wrong :P.
