Startup parameters can be configured by creating a new shortcut and then adding the appropriate option in the target line.

Example

<program file> -popupwindow -adapter 2

For Steam version:

1. Choose the game shortcut in Library
2. Right click on the game
3. Properties -> General -> Set Launch Options...

Change default to run in 64bit (Windows):

1. Properties -> General -> Set Launch Options...
2. Change default executable to the 64bit version: "<path to KSP directory>\KSP_x64.exe" %command%

 ex. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program\KSP_x64.exe" %command%

Parameters
