<<In Windows>>

Of course there is.  End users usually just left click shortcuts, don't 
think about what that shortcut IS.

But if you right click the shortcut and choose "properties" from the 
menu you get to see what it IS. Among other things you will see "target 
type", "target location", and "target" --- the last will be the line 
left clicking the shortcut will submit << me, being from mainframe days, 
think of as "submit to the internal reader"

Anyway, you can edit that "target" line to add the parameter --nofile to 
the end  (after the .exe")
