[QUOTE="nudnick, post: 257272, member: 4311"] Thanks Pike! Thank you Noex for making that command a simple as it could possibly be! So infact no front end is needed if you just want to launch a table straight from the desktop. Its a little bit of work, but for my preferences, this is how I am setting mine up: 1) IMPORTANT - batch files created to launch tables must be in same folder as Settings.ini and the TPAFreeCmMod.exe files (I have discovered that you can actually also copy those 2 files over to any other folder and place your batch files in that same folder and it will work that way as well) 2) I use a great little website to create my own ICO (icon files) - "https://iconverticons.com/online/" - I save that to my HD and then place it in a folder i created to store ICO files for TPA. I am simply converting my back glass PNG files to ICO using this web site converter tool. 3) I then create the batch file (.cmd) with the command "start c:\users\joewh\downloads\pbafreecammod\tpafreecammod.exe -table addamsfamily" and name it according to the table I am creating the batch file for and save it to my folder where TPAFreeCamMod.exe resides. 4) I then right click that file and "Send to desktop - create shortcut". I've created a folder on my desktop named "Lauch Table" and I drag that shrotcut into that folder. 5) Then I go into the "Launch Table" folder and right-click the cmd shortcut file I just placed in there go to "Proerties" and choose "Change Icon" and browse to the ICO folder where I placed the Icon that I made for that table and apply it. I make sure that I'm showing large Icons in my "lauch Table" folder so that the icon is big enough to decifer which table is which. I rename the shortcut to the Table name. Done ... I'm doing this for each table and in the end will have one folder for Auto launching all my tables. [/QUOTE]
