[Feature request] Add launch properties to shortcuts #9
Description
In the original Program Manager (and indeed, in modern Windows) you can assign several different properties to shortcuts that affect how they run:
- Arguments which specified options for the program to interpret
- Working directory which told the program what folder to "work in" (also known as "current directory")
- Shortcut key which assigned a global key hook to launch the program
- Run minimised, which means the program would be minimised by default.
(Windows 95 added a Run maximised option, and Comments were added to shortcuts in Windows 2000, and would provide a pop-up bubble description when the icon was hovered over.)
In the original Program Manager (and in modern Windows) you could specify arguments by appending them on to the end of the "Command Line" (or "Target") text box, but in Progman the Path box cannot be edited. I actually think it might make more sense (and may be easier programming wise) to have a separate Arguments box.
