    2 .exe's, one windowed one not [SOLVED]

    Don't know if this is far fetched, but is there any way I could have 2 .exe's of the trials2se, one which starts a 1280x resolution windowed, and one which starts with 1680x resolution and full screen. I sometimes want to read IRC (quakenet) at the same time I'm driving and I don't feel like using the launcher every time. And sometimes I get a bluescreen if I alt-tab from the game to read IRC. Thanks in advance.

    Launcher does a small file called setup.dat in your personal "Application Data\Redlynx\Trials 2\1.0" directory. This file contains all the settings you do using the launcher.exe.

    Here is the easiest way to achieve what you want:
    1. Start the launcher and set your desired fullscreen settings. Select Exit from the launcher.
    2. Rename the setup.dat to setup1.dat
    3. Start the launcher again and set your desired windowed settings. Select Exit from the launcher.
    4. Rename the setup.dat to setup2.dat
    5. Create 2 files (fullscreen.bat and windowed.bat) in the same directory where the setup.dat is, and open them in notepad.

    File "fullscreen.bat":
    copy /y setup1.dat setup.dat
    cd "c:\your trials directory here"
    trials2.exe

    File "windowed.bat":
    copy /y setup2.dat setup.dat
    cd "c:\your trials directory here"
    trials2.exe

    6. Create 2 shortcuts to your desktop to these files.

    I can't get it to work.
    This is my code:
    [code:vgtiad7d]copy /y setup2.dat setup.dat
    cd "G:\Spill\Trials 2 Second Edition\"
    trials2.exe[/code:vgtiad7d]
    It's all been writing in my windowed.bat file

    Only thing that happen is a ms-dos window poping up for a sec.

    cd "G:\Spill\Trials 2 Second Edition" only change the current directory on your G: drive but doesn't change the current drive.

    Add "G:" to a row before or after the cd command. This will change the current drive to G:.
