How do I write a very simple program that uses the command line to navigate to a program in the user's Program Files directory, then launches the .exe with a parameter? For example:
"C:\etc\Program Files\ProgramFolder\Program.exe C:\etc\desktop\file.spp C\etc\desktop\file.txt"
This launches a program with a certain project file and a .txt file along with it.

option. You can test command line arguments by running an executable from the "Command Prompt" in Windows or from the "DOS prompt" in older versions of Windows. You can also use command line arguments in program shortcuts, or when running an application by using Start -> Run.
In the right pane, right-click SQL Server (<instance_name>), and then click Properties. On the Startup Parameters tab, in the Specify a startup parameter box, type the parameter, and then click Add. For example, to start in single-user mode, type -m in the Specify a startup parameter box and then click Add.
A command line argument is simply anything we enter after the executable name, which in the above example is notepad.exe. So for example, if we launched Notepad using the command C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe /s, then /s would be the command line argument we used.
You can use the ProcessStartInfo.Arguments property to specify the string of arguments for your program:
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(); startInfo.FileName = @"C:\etc\Program Files\ProgramFolder\Program.exe"; startInfo.Arguments = @"C:\etc\desktop\file.spp C:\etc\desktop\file.txt"; Process.Start(startInfo); Just create a new text file, name it "go.cmd" and put the following in there:
"C:\etc\Program Files\ProgramFolder\Program.exe C:\etc\desktop\file.spp C\etc\desktop\file.txt" Voila, you have your program!
