Make an app accept shortcuts

[wkingsnorth]

Hi, I'm trying to use an app that has different config files when accessing different servers, and the config file is called servername.points (.Points being a .txt file with a different ending). What I want to do, is have the same config file for several servers, which are all identically run, but without having seperate files copied and pasted, so I don't have to edit all the files when editing one. I tried to use a shortcut, but it didn't work. Any help/ideas? Thanks

Can you explain this any better? from what I can make if that..

you have an application which needs a .point file, this is currently different for each server but you want it to be the same for all of them?

can you launch the application whilst pointing it to the path of the "central" .point file?

So the shortcut you'd launch the app with would be app.exe pathofpointfile\file.point

or even associate the .point extension with the application in question and run it directly?
