Icon parameters
In older version of Windows I used to be able to adjust a desktop icons'
startup parameters to launch an application with different options (like load a specific file). I don't seem to be able to do that in WindowsXP. Has that process changed? Is it no longer available? Thank you. Mark

Target line parameters in shortcut properties are still available if the program supports it and there are no permission issues with the files being called up. If there are long file names involved in the paths, be sure to enclose those in quotes. -- Sharon F MS MVP - Windows XP Shell/User

Icon parameters
In that case I'm doing something very wrong. I'll keep plugging away at it.
Thank you. Mark :-) "Sharon F" wrote in message ...
