Hi Yukon. Coincidentally, I tried this yesterday. I remembered I had deleted the "SH3 with GWX" shortcut from the desktop when I installed Commander, so I resurrected that shortcut (was still in the Recycle Bin), changed the properties and that seemed to do the trick. I remember that before I installed Commander, I had never tampered with that shortcut so Commander must have established somehow that it was the default shortcut to launch SH3, and now it still seems to remember it and apply the settings I want. If you can somehow track that original shortcut that was created on your desktop when installing SH3 or GWX, that should hopefully work.

I only tested it but went back to full screen as playing windowed -even maximized- cuts off the bottom 20 pixels or so of the screen (the part where you see the latest crew messages), but that's another story... will have to test this with a second output monitor.
