Just make a text file called "xroar.conf" (with contents from the wiki entry) and put it in the directory with your .exe and it will give you the 4K option.

Or, (from xroar.pdf docs) open a CMD.EXE window and CD in to where the .exe/ROMs are, and type

	xroar -ram 4 -bas bas10 -noextbas -nodos

Or, avoid command-line entirely, and from Windows, right-click on the xroar.exe and select "Create shortcut." That makes "xroar.exe - Shortcut" which you can rename to whatever you want and relocate it. Right-click on the shortcut and choose "Properties". You will see "Target:" has the path to the .exe, and you can click there, go to the end of the line and add the options given above.

Now you can have a shortcut called "XRoar 4K" or whatever and just double click and you don't need the menus.

I will update CoCopedia.
