"Trooper's Skate 3 Recomp Launcher.exe"                          open the launcher
"Trooper's Skate 3 Recomp Launcher.exe" --profile "Ultra 4K"     open with that profile loaded on screen (unsaved)
"Trooper's Skate 3 Recomp Launcher.exe" --play                   skip the window, start the game with the current settings.toml
"Trooper's Skate 3 Recomp Launcher.exe" --play --profile "Ultra 4K"   write the profile to settings.toml, then start the game
"Trooper's Skate 3 Recomp Launcher.exe" --help                   show these options

-play, /play, -profile, /profile, -h and /? work too. Profile names aren't case-sensitive. --play still backs up your saves and runs Discord presence. If skate3.exe can't be found, it opens the normal window so you can locate it.

The Profiles and Launcher pages create these shortcuts on your desktop for you, with the Skate 3 icon.
