The DOW2 series allows the content of runoptions.cfg to run as args.
Basically, it allows one to run more general commands on a whole, while the shortcut can also run very specific commands like if you're playing a specific mod or you're going for dev mode.
Thus, you can input your command line parameters in both the shortcut and runoptions.cfg, and they both can run together concurrently.
