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
