How to start FC with saved setting in command line?

Hi, all

I want to start an FC with previously saved setting(*1) by using command line.
I executed the following command in Command Prompt, but it did not work.

> FreeCommander.exe /NewIni=C:\Users\MYNAME\Desktop\test\Bkp_Settings_test\FreeCommander.ini

*1: the setting which can be obtained by sellecting "Tools > Backup all settings...""

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

=============
Background
=============
I am using FC at work. The way I use FC is the following:

Each of my project has its own specific tabs assigned to a specific directories, so I need to keep FC settings for each project.
Most of the time, I need to work on multiple projects at the same time. As a result, I run multiple FCs at the same time with different settings (in order to display different tabs for each project).
What happes is everytime I start my computer, I need to navigate "Tools > Restore all settings..."
It is tedious...

So I tried to write a batch file to start an FC with a specific setting.
