- Go to Start -> Run and entering the what you wish to execute with the switch. For example,

(with the quotation marks).
- You may also create a shortcut on your Desktop or wherever you like to make this less tedious. Right click on an open space. Choose New -> Shortcut. Follow the wizard in creating a new shortcut. When it prompts you for location (not name), type what you want to execute. For an example, see above.
For Linux and Mac OS X users
