What about making a shortcut with a few commands after the target?
Eg:
2 Shortcuts on the Desktop...
One is labled "mIRC", the other "mIRC - No Perform", the only difference is this:
Both shortcuts are identical, except the Target box in the Shortcut properties...
mIRC = C:\Program Files\mIRC\mIRC.exe
mIRC - No Perform = C:\Program Files\mIRC\mIRC.exe -noperform
What about that? (I forgot what they are called so yeah, sorry if ya don't understand :P)
