and arguments to control some program executables
On this page I will collect command line switches for some program executables.
This will make it easier to create reliable 'quick-and-dirty' batch files to perform common tasks like printing, file conversion, etcetera without the need to dig into the program's COM object details.
Most programs open a file if its full path is specified on the command line without any switches.
Most files' 'Open', 'Print' and 'PrintTo' commands can be found in the registry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, or by examining file associations, the others may require some web searching, or even reading software manuals.
Command line switches for:
- Microsoft Access
- Canon's Digital Photo Professional
- Mozilla Firefox
- Corel Presentations
- Corel Quattro Pro
- Microsoft RAW Image Viewer
- Mozilla Thunderbird
- Sunbelt VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware
- Microsoft Word

It is not possible to start a Windows Explorer window with alternate credentials.
That is where Internet Explorer's 'Explorer mode' comes to the rescue:
use RUNAS and IE's -E switch to start an Explorer look-alike window with alternate credentials.Folder can be in 'drive:path' or UNC format.
As of IE 7 this workaround may no longer work, as the -e switch became obsolete (though it still does work on my Windows 7 (64-bits) system).

Microsoft announced end of support for Windows XP
Microsoft ends support for Windows XP on April 8, 2014.
For more information, visit https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsforbusiness/end-of-xp-support
After the next official quarterly update (expected May 2014), Adobe will no longer develop versions of Acrobat or Reader for Windows XP. Also, Adobe will no longer test releases or patches on Windows XP or fix bugs specific to Windows XP.
Windows XP not a supported OS after April 8, 2014
Windows XP will be removed from the system requirements (tech specs). Adobe won't fix any Acrobat or Reader bugs specific to the Windows XP operating system. You can run Acrobat or Reader on a supported version of Windows, such as Windows 7 or 8.
You can continue to install and use Adobe Reader and Acrobat on Windows XP. However, you won’t benefit from future security updates or patches. If you are entitled to support, Adobe will continue to support you, unless the problem is isolated to Windows XP. We recommend that you run Acrobat and Reader in an operating system that both Microsoft and Adobe support (Windows 7 or 8).
