<p>There several command line options available for Open Live Writer.  To invoke them,
either run Open Live Writer from the command line:<p>
<pre>OpenLiveWriter.exe options</pre>
<p>Or you can edit your shortcut properties</p>
<p>In fact, if you look at the default shortcut properties, some tweaking has already been done.
You'll see that an update check is done before OpenLiveWriter is started:<p>
<pre>C:\Users\&lt;username&gt;\AppData\Local\OpenLiveWriter\Update.exe --processStart OpenLiveWriter.exe</pre>
<p>Just add your command line options at the end.</p>
<br>
Note: Not all of the command line options may be available now, but they should be soon.
