I'm trying to get the shortcut command parameters to do what I want: I just can't get it to happen consistently. In fact it only set the player and skipped the logon menu once and persistently failed ever after. Editing the autoexec might be more reliable?

- Not every command or cvar will have the same effect, compared to putting them directly in the shortcut. For example menu_main does not seem to do anything at all, and if player is set, the game actually seems to load the config of the default user ("blade") before logging in as the chosen user (without loading that user's config!).
