Wait, but I got a shortcut on my desk top. and I don't understand how I actually "make" this file, what do I click to make the file to name it "medieval2.exe --io.file_first"

Edit your shortcut.
Its target currently is either the launcher.exe or medieval2.exe
Change to medieval2.exe --io.file_first

Err no.
Undo what you did.
Then right click medieval2.exe and choose create shortcut.
Open the shortcut's properties and in the target section add
--io.file_first
after exe, making sure there is a space between the e and the -

Yes. Just make sure that you got 2 - (i.e. --) and that the " is put after exe instead of after first

it says the name and path are not valid.
