Command-line parameters, also called arguments are options for the initial execution of software. These options are commonly supplied in a command-line window or shortcut, and always come after the executable's file name. Available parameters, syntax, and effect all depend on the game or software they are used with. A common use for these options is for running games in debug mode or different resolutions.

For further detail, see the Wikipedia article.

To do: Flesh out. Would it be better to name this Command-line arguments?

Example: 

"C:\Program Files\OldGame\Game.exe" -firstoption -secondoption
"C:\Program Files\NewGame\Game.exe" /FIRSTOPTION /SECONDOPTION
