this is a question i have had for some time now. i want to add to the target
of a shortcut. the original "C:\halflife\halflife.exe" and i want it to be
"C:\halflife\halflife.exe -console -dev" something i did in Win98. WinXp
seems to give me this message: [the name "C:\halflife\halflife.exe -console
-dev" specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file
name are correct.]
what do i need to do to be able to execute the program with the extra
-console -dev commands?

Omit the quotes.

"C:\halflife\halflife.exe -console -dev"

will show that message

C:\halflife\halflife.exe -console -dev

should not
