Setting shortcut parameters

Hi I was wondering if someone could help me out. I've been able to create my shortcuts but I can't seem to get the parameters right. The problem is I need to wrap the program to be executed in quotes. But what's happening is the whole shortcut string is wrapped in quotes.

It's an unadvertised shortcut and I'm using the following path:

"[programfolder]\IADS\PROGRAMS\READR.EXE" -k ERMP -userid12 !C:\Program Files\E\FILES\Launch.xml


What I'm getting is this:
"C:\Program Files\IADS\PROGRAMS\READR.EXE -k ERMP -userid12 !C:\Program Files\ER\FILES\Launch.xml"

How can I get the exact string I need in a shortcuts properites?

Thank you,
Max

I forgot to mention it's a Basic MSI project.

What are you putting in the shortcut's Target setting, and what are you putting in its Arguments setting? With a quick test, putting the EXE path in the former and the -k ERMP etc. in the Arguments results in a shortcut with the quotation marks in the right places...
