Right click on the VDMS shortcut (.vlp) to the game and choose "Properties".

From the VDMSound tab there is a "Change..." button. Click this button to bring up the "Change Program Information" window. From here you can change the target of the VLP and add command line arguments. You may also change the icon to one for for game.

There is also a close DOS window on exit check box. This will close the window when you quit the game. When troubleshooting the game you may want to uncheck this box to see any error messages if the game crashes.
