How to I add command line arguments (parameters) for pinned applications on Windows 7?

Question

On Windows 7 i'm no longer able to change the command line arguments for "pinned" taskbar launcher.

How can we workaround this problem in order to be able to start applications with parameters on Windows 7 (from taskbar).

(When the application is closed) hold Shift + Right Click > Properties

Nice. Doesn't work with all shortcuts but definitly something I did not know.

He is right, it does work but only if the application is not already started. You should specify this in the answer.

Awesome trick, it just saved me tons of reload on chrome (unsecure content issue)

Edit the task bar shortcuts directly from:

C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

You'll need to create a shortcut to the application that has the necessary arguments and then pin that shortcut to the taskbar.
