    Saving a line command as an icon?


    I want to create an icon on the desktop to launch a program with an included command line switch, starting in a given directory:

    Execute:
    c:\thisprog\xxx\bin\thisprog.exe -x -y

    from directory:
    c:\thisprog\xxx

    It seemed that in prior versions of Windows there was a fairly easy way to do this -- i.e. make a shortcut for the executable, then edit the shortcut's properties to insert the command-line switches and the directory to launch it from. However, I'm trying to do this under a new install of Windows 10 Pro, and I'm not finding options like this under Properties after I create the shortcut. Is there a (different) way to do this?

    :)

    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 Saving a line command as an icon? :)

    Saving a line command as an icon?

    Command line/tab

    Hello. I've looked everywhere I can think of and can't seem to find a list of command line commands. Does such a list exist, and if so does anyone know where I can find it?

    Also, I read in an older post that a command to let you open GPU-Z to a specific tab was going to be included in the next release. I was just wondering if that is the case and if so, how do I use it?

    Thanks very much for a wonderful piece of software! *Smile Saving a line command as an icon? :)
