Is it possible to add command line startup switches to 'other' apps in the PA menu?

I know how to add command line startup switches to PortableApps launchers.

I have added several apps within the PortableApps folder, which are already portable, so they do not have PA launchers.

These programs' icons appear in the PA menu, which is great, but I was wondering if there was any way to add startup switches to these icons, in a similar way you can with Windows shortcuts in the Start Menu.

If not, is there a workaround? Is it possible to make an ultra-simple launcher which opens the executable with command line switches and then closes?

Unable to instal Platform Beta 5

Having finally decided to migrate from my aging U3 drive to a much faster memory stick I decided to give the PortableApps.com launcher a try. The 1.6.1 version installed with no problems and in no time I had the eighteen apps I can't live without up and running (even moving the locally stored copies all my emails from the old version of Thunderbird went without a hitch).

Temporarily disable automatic app starting

Submitted by jaybz.e on May 25, 2011 - 12:28am

Hi. Is there a way to temporarily disable automatic app starting other than editing the ini and editing the contents of the [AppsAutoStart] section and reverting it afterwards?

I use PortableApps in multiple computers, however, on certain computers, I don't want the apps that are marked as "Start Automatically" to run.
