    How to force Windows to use args/parameters for an executable, regardless of how it's launched?


    Is it possible to force Windows to use specific parameters on a specific program-launch? Regardless of how the program-execution was initiated.



    I want Windows to use certain arguments on an executable at all times.

    Maybe possible through the Registry?

    GPU-Z what command line parameter ?

    Suggestion: /? (-?) and /help (-help) command-line arguments to show a list of all possible arguments in a small window. *Smile How to force Windows to use args/parameters for an executable, regardless of how it's launched? :)

    How to force Windows to use args/parameters for an executable, regardless of how it's launched?

    Parameters not working on items pinned to taskbar

    I have several parameters I use on my google chrome shortcut to fix the DPI shown below.

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1.05

    When I apply these parameters to my google chrome taskbar shortcut, the parameters are ignored. It only works if I start chrome from double clicking on the shortcut in the ...\User Pinned\TaskBar directory itself.

    I've applied the parameters to the chrome shortcut in this location - C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

    I've done a log off\restart after doing this with no luck.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks
