Oh what I forgot: some additional information, if you want a shortcut on 
the Windows 8 App Menu with the changed command line option, just create 
a shortcut on your normal desktop, add the command line option and name 
the shortcut to your prefered name. Now right click and select the "show 
at start" option and delete the shortcut on the normal Desktop. :)
