Windows ME allows you to edit shortcuts and add arguments to the exe to be run, although I think you normally add the arguments, such as '-d' outside the double quotes as they indicate the path to the EXE.

Yeah I think you've basically got it. I Generally use DOS for such things so my fault for not thinking it through better. Strickly speaking you don't necessarily need quotes at all. Quotes are used anytime there is a space. So for instance:

C:\Games\Program.exe
C:\Games\Program.exe /d
"C:\Program Files\Games\Program.exe" /d

are all valid entries [:D]

Course I am not even sure /d is the proper switch but it does put you in debug mode (just perhaps not STRONG debug mode).

You may find that the OS automatically adds the double quotes to shortcut links if the path has a space.[;)]
