Far Cry parameters

I never has this problem with XP. I need to add a parameter to the Fear Cry
shortcut, -devmode, to get a trainer to work. Vista Business keeps telling me
this:
The name 'C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Crytek\Far Cry\Bin32\FarCry.exe-devmode'
specified in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name is
correct.
I have tried making a new shortcut, but that did not work either...

If that's the exact text, it's because the quotes are wrong it should be
"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Crytek\Far Cry\Bin32\FarCry.exe" -devmode outstide
of the quotes.

Always a space between the exe. and the -commandswitch to make it easier on
yourself

Re: Far Cry parameters

It looks like the problem is the ...FarCry.exe-devmode' part. There needs to
be a space before the -devmode switch.
