How to use Command Line Switches

Although it's not obvious in modern Windows versions, all applications are started with a Command Line. Generally, the command to start an application is stored in the registry, and is set when the application is installed. However, this default command line can be bypassed by creating startup shortcut. There may be many ways to create a shortcut to an application, but this article presents one easy methods that works with all versions of Windows.

The Windows Desktop Shortcut

1. Right-click on the Windows desktop and select "New/Shortcut"
2. When asked "What item would you like to create a shortcut for?", ignore the poor grammar and use the "Browse" button to navigate to the program folder for your TeleScript Software. For example, this might be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Telescript\TeleScriptAV\TeleScriptAV.exe". Click OK to insert the runtime file into the shortcut... do NOT click "Next" -- not yet.
3. Add the command line switch AFTER the closing quotation marks... for example, to set TeleScript AV to go directly to Prompter Mode, the command line should look like this:
   "C:\Program Files (x86)\Telescript\TeleScriptAV" -P
4. NOW, click Next
5. When asked "What would you like to name your shortcut?", think of a descriptive name, and type it in.
6. Click "Finish" to complete the process.
7. Find your shortcut on the desktop and give it a try.
8. Shortcuts created in the manner can safely be deleted... just drag them to the trash if you're done with it.
