Windows 8 Program Target Commands

[GTXPlayer]

Can anyone tell me how to use commands in the target field of shortcut files? I also want to learn the list of commands I am able to use for .exe shortcut files but I can't seem to find anything by search. I recently tried to put the -nosound command in the target field after the program directory and it didn't seem to take any effect adn I don't know why.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

When creating shortcuts in Windows, you can customize the target field to include additional commands or parameters to modify how the program runs. Here's how you can use commands in the target field of shortcut files:

1. Creating a Shortcut:
   • Right-click on the program or application for which you want to create a shortcut.
   • Select "Create shortcut" to create a shortcut on the desktop or another location of your choice.
   []Accessing Shortcut Properties:
   • Right-click on the newly created shortcut and select "Properties."
   []Modifying the Target Field:
   • In the "Properties" window, you will see a "Target" field where the path to the executable file is specified.
   • After the file path, you can add additional commands or parameters. Separate them with a space.
2. Example:
   • Let's say your target field looks like this: "C:\Program Files\Example\example.exe"
   • You can add a command like "-nosound" after the file path so that it looks like this: "C:\Program Files\Example\example.exe -nosound" Regarding the list of commands you can use for .exe shortcut files, it's essential to note that not all programs support command-line options. Each program may have its own set of commands or parameters that it recognizes. If you tried using the "-nosound" command in the target field and it didn't take effect, here are a few reasons why it might not have worked:
     • Incorrect Syntax: Make sure the command is written correctly with a space between the executable path and the command. Also, ensure that the command is valid for the program.
     • Program Support: The program may not support the specific command you are trying to use.
     • Compatibility: Some commands may only work with specific versions of the program.
     If you're looking for specific commands or parameters for a particular program, you may need to consult the program's documentation or support resources for a list of valid commands that can be used in shortcuts. Feel free to provide more details about the program or command you are trying to use, and I can help further with troubleshooting or finding additional information.
