"String Parameters for Cosmic Forge"
This is mildly embarrassing, because I figured out how to do this, once upon a time, and I'm almost positive I included details in a post, but I cannot find it anywhere.

Anyway, on to the question:

MadGod has designed the Cosmic Forge so one may include a string parameter in the short cut. This way, you can create a short cuts for, say "Cosmic Forge Bane", "Cosmic Forge CODS", and "Cosmic Forge W8", which will each open to the editor of those respective games.

For those of us who are only semi-computer-literate, the question is, "How?"

Take my set up: Bane is in c:\bane. CODS is in c:\dsavant. W8 is in c:\program files\sir tech .

I can open up the short cut properties box, for my cf short cut, and I have a "target" line and a "start in" line. What do I put, in one line or the other, to set up this string parameter?

Assuming you know the parameters, they would go in target, after the executable file. If there are spaces in the path to the executable, youmay have to wrap it in spaces:

"c:\blah blah blah\some.exe" parmX
