Relaunch to launch .exe with switches?

#1

Short version:
Does anyone know how to use Relaunch to launch an executable with switches (ex C:\Program Files\app.exe /quiet)? I can get it to launch the exe only, but it does nothing when I include the switches.

Long Story:
I switched to Windows 8.1 recently, and some of the Metro apps are really nice (wish they supported remote but most are mouse/touch only). I started messing around with ModernMix which lets you run Metro apps on the desktop. I created desktop shortcut to the Crackle metro app, and looking at the shortcut it is something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Modernmix.exe /Crackle34%#app". I thought it would be cool to be able to use relaunch to load right into the Crackle Metro app but Relaunch does not seem to like the switch. I have tried quotes in various places around the string with no luck. Any ideas?

I haven't used relaunch lately... could you maybe use it to run a .cmd file and put the .exe and /switches in that?

Great idea. I thought to try that last night but forgot.
