I have a program program.exe
and a document document.txt
, and to open the document, I can drag document.txt
onto program.exe
. So far so good. Now I want to call it with a command-line parameter -param
so that the full command line is program.exe -param document.txt
Unfortunately, I can't do this with drag and drop, so I need to fire up cmd and type in the command manually. This takes too long, and I need an easier way.
How can I create a shortcut that I can drop the file onto, and have it call the program with the command-line parameter?
I tried setting the shortcut to program.exe -param "%1"
, but that didn't work, because it tried to open the file %1
.
