For a nrmal user/mapper Darkmod and Darkradiant shortcuts:

   TDM - E:\Darkmod\TheDarkMod.exe +set com_allowConsole 1 +set r_fullscreen 0 +set fs_currentfm myfm
   DR - "C:\Program Files\DarkRadiant\DarkRadiant.exe" fs_game=darkmod/fms/myfm

If your an Svn user:

   TDM - D:\TdmSvn\TheDarkMod.exe +set com_allowConsole 1 +set r_fullscreen 0 +set fs_currentfm myfm
   DR - "C:\Program Files\DarkRadiant\DarkRadiant.exe" fs_game=tdmsvn/fms/myfm

Some info on the args in the shortcuts:

   The paths for the Darkmod and SVN folder are on two different drives for me, in this case D:\ and E:\ - it will be different for each person.
   +set com_allowConsole 1 - this enables the console by pressing just the tilda button (above the tab key)
   +set r_fullscreen 0 - this forces TDM to run in a window, which for me is usefull as I run TDM and DR at the same time.
   +set fs_currentfm - in your FMS folder you will have the name of your mission/fm that your working on (eg. myfm or whatever you have named it)
