    Create a Shortcut with arguments to exe file windows 7


    I was trying to add a few shortcuts to my Windows 7 Start Menu and add a command line argument to the short cut.

    I was able to create a shortcut for "Windows Explorer" using
    Code:
    C:\Windows\explorer.exe /n, /e D:\
    When I tried to create a shortcut for FireFox to select the profile
    Code:
    C:\Internet\FireFox.exe -p
    it didn't work. I tried using the Start> Run> command with
    Code:
    C:\Internet\FireFox.exe -p
    and it worked fine.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Never mind...figure it out...the shortcut needs to be formatted with the switches after the Quote marks...
    Code:
    "C:\Internet\FireFox.exe" -p
