    Running programs from CMD at the Run prompt?

    I play a game called Soldat & in the online manual (scroll down a little ) it says how once the game is running you can enter commands such as "-join [IP] [port] [server password]" instead of using the GUI. I want to use this information to create a shortcut so that I can go directly to my clan's server. I am fairly certain this can be done, I'm just not sure how. I have tried making a shortcut with address "soldat://[IP address]:[Port]", but it stops me & asks for a password for the server. Is it possible to make a shortcut to cmd.exe such that the shortcut is to cmd.exe running "soldat.exe -join [IP] [port] [server password]"? I know this is sort of convoluted, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You shouldn't need to involve the command prompt, just make a shortcut like this:

    "C:\Program Files\Someotherfolder\asdfasdf\soldat.exe" -join 123.123.123.122 23 password

    The path to soldat.exe, of course, should be changed appropriately.
