right click on your shortcut of halo and goto properties
you should see "target" and then you should see the location of your halo game mine is this
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\halo.exe"
if its not in quotes, put it in quotes

then just pick a command you want and put it after, here is what mine says

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\halo.exe" -screenshot -novideo

that allows me to take screen shots, and doesn't play the movies in the beginning

hope this helped

You could just delete .bik videos in halo folder. Then every time u open halo it doesn't play banners.

It doesn't exist. I made my own a while ago, it did not write over anything. And it does not recieve the pictures. Either that or I'm using the wrong key to take the pics.

BTW I used halospy to enable the screenshots.

Just press PretScSysRq on keyboard. Then just paste in paint. That's how I make my screenshots.
