[Feature Request] Argument support for Launcher

[0x11DFE]

An option to add arguments on the process creation CreateProcessA could be useful in some scenarios example if we want to start Telegram minimized the argument would be -autostart.

Committed changes to support forwarding command line arguments, but simply passing -autorun to Telegram.exe does not minimize it at startup, and I have a hunch that the feature will require decrypting and modifying configuration data, so the feature may be abandoned as too difficult to implement.

I did some testing and -autostart actually works but it is required to enable autostart from within Telegram's settings.
So after placing the shortcut to shell:startup we need to move to Telegram's advanced settings and tick Launch Telegram when system starts and Launch minimized after that close Telegram entirely.

Move back to shell:startup and delete the Telegram's official shortcut and modifying our own shortcut by going to the file properties and Target adding -autostart at the end of the path.
Now the application will start as minimized everytime the system starts.

Now that we know that, How does Telegram restrict the action of using -autostart ?
Well after looking at the process events on enabling Launch minimized it seems that Telegram query and modify a file called settingss which is located at %APPDATA%\Telegram Desktop\tdata\settings and might be encrypted.

@0x11DFE If we delete the Telegram shortcut, won't it automatically disable the auto-run option? If so, this is an effective and simple solution. 👍

No it doesn't disable the option 😋
