It would be great if instead of simply passing all availble variables to the executable file, if you could choose which ones you passed, and where.
I have this program that expects a title, and a message body. I would like to be able to do something like this:
c:\program.exe -t %subject% -m %message%
Where -t is the title flag, and -m is the message flag.
I already love the program! I just think this would be a great addition.

I fixed my problem by creating a .bat file as a "go-between" for the two applications. It's really cool, it uses: http://www.fullphat.net/snarl.html to display notices.

That's exactly what I was about to suggest before I read your own aswer.
Thank's for pointing out Snarl, I didn't know about it. Looks pretty and useful. I just think it should be part of the OS, as well as Growl on OSX.
Here, KDE is the winner on Linux with it's knotify system.
