Is it possible to load specific profile before MT5 starts

If i have Profile A B C, and profile A was active before i shut down MT5

now next time i want to open MT5 but with Profile B, is there any method such as any file i can create and upon clicking it recognize which profile to open

    You are using "start" incorrectly. Use the directory option so that the parameters will be properly identified ...

    start /D "C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 5\" terminal64.exe /profile:Default
     

    Also instead of using a command line batch file, just update the shortcut file of the Windows menu to add the parameter.
