AddArgs
|
Run some programs with some predefined parameters. AddArgs is a utility for power users who want to run some programs with some predefined parameters in the command line.
Let us say you want to be able to drop some files or directories over a shortcut (in the desktop or in a folder) use the Send to menu to send them to a shortcut you created in the SendTo folder. The trouble is that the program the shortcut points to might take advantage of some switches or parameters included in the command line when it is invoked. Unfortunately, it seems that you cannot specify those parameters in a shortcut; but you can use AddArgs to do that.
The program might also be useful to create a shortcut that runs a program in a less common state (such as in a hidden window or in a normal window which does not receive the focus when started).
AddArgs is FreeWare; there is no charge for using it and it may be distributed freely so long as the files are kept together and unaltered. You may neither sell nor profit from distribution of AddArgs in any way.
The program might also be useful to create a shortcut that runs a program in a less common state (such as in a hidden window or in a normal window which does not receive the focus when started). AddArgs will run under Windows 2000, XP, 2003 Server, Vista, 7 and later.
To use AddArgs:
1. Make a copy of addargs.exe to any folder of your choice and rename it in a way meaningful to you, say myargs.exe.
2. Create in the same folder a text file with the same name but extension .txt, in the example just mentioned myargs.txt.
3. Optionally create a shortcut to your copy (myargs.exe) in any place you may find useful: desktop, SendTo folder, etc.
4. Now, you can drop files and/or directories over the program or the shortcut: they will be added to the end of the command line you want to run. The program will be started (in the directory you specified in the third line, if any, and in the state you specified in the fourth line) with the full command line containing the parameters in your option file and the files and/directories you dropped.
