Pin a document to the task bar

I'd like to pin a document to the task bar in Windows 7. The document in question is a pre-set configuration for an application, and launches the application in the state defined within. I can pin the application to the taskbar, and then that document in its jump list; however, doing so isn't ideal. In that state, clicking the icon launches the program in its default state (which prompts for a configuration).

"This technique assumes that the application in question can take the file as a parameter.

Go to the program's folder
Hold Alt and drag the program into empty space to create a shortcut.
Now add the arguments from the Properties window.
Drag it to the taskbar

Hope that's all."
