I use a program called "Texmod" for a number of games to modify their textures. One game I am recently playing, however, requires that a command line switch be used to run the game client exe directly. Texmod doesn't support command line switching through it's own, so the game client refuses to work. Is there anyway (via Windows options or a third-party application) I can embed/hardcode the command line switch into the exe permanatly, so if the exe is ran, it'll always force load the command line switch?
Command Line Switch exe embeding?

There are switches for cmd.exe, but I don't see how you could utilize this outside of a batch or scripting file.

I'm afraid i'm not entirely sure what you mean by a batch or scripting file.
If it's possible, i'd even be willin to decompile the exe, input the prompt at the correct time, and recompile it, but I have no clue if that's even possible.

If you program, then you should be able to "shell out" of the program to run an external command. Since you won't be able to decompile cmd.exe, you might want to consider running a script or batch file.

Let me make sure i'm reading you right, You are saying that I can be running the exe file, then while it's running, apply a command line switch to it? If so, that would work well.

I'm saying you can be running an executable program, and execute another program (be it .exe, .bat, etc) from within the initial program. The .bat file could run the cmd.exe file in conjunction with whatever else you needed to run.
To test, just create a file (say... test.bat) with what you need to execute from the cmd prompt.
Then it would return to the original program after execution of the batch file (providing the batch file does not implement a stop).

Ooh, right. The problem with this is Texmod will only grab textures from the initial program, so if I luanch a .bat file, try to load CMD, etc, it will not grab textures from the exe that the bat/cmd files open, it'll try to grab textures from the bat file or CMD itself, which obviously does not work.
