Start Mach4 in Screen Editor

I have messed up my PLC script bad enough that Mach4 won't open. I can't remember how to open Mach4 in the editor mode. Anyone remember how?
Tried to enable some PMC code and it really didn't like it... so now I can't open Mach4 even if restore a previous backup.

I'm in industrial, but I assume that should still be ok.
Also, I can't figure out how to get this to work.
Do I rename the Mach4GUI? Or rename my profile?

Still Lost.
I cannot use "/" while renaming anything.

After creating a new shortcut(named whatever you want,(eg.'Open M4 in editor') right click and select properties. It is in the 'Target' property that you put the aforementioned string.

I must have really screwed something up. It still won't open and tells me that I have something wrong with the PLC Script.
C:\Mach4Industrial\Mach4GUI.exe /p OD_Grinder/e
Here is the path that I'm using.

Ok. So I made a copy of the Mach4GUI and just put the property of "/e" in the line and it allowed me to open into the screen editor.
