Path\filename.msc (NTXP)

/a (NTXP)
Opens a saved console in author mode. Used to make changes to saved consoles.
When consoles are opened with this option, they are opened in author mode, regardless of their default mode. This does not permanently change the default mode setting for files. When you omit this option, console files are opened according to their default mode settings.
