Is it possible to pass a parameter to another program, for example, to pass a parameter to Winzip to zip a specific folder or something like that? If so, how is it done? Do I have to see a specific program's documentation/website?

Certainly it will be program specific, so yeah you'll probably have to consult the developer's info. I think it will depends on whether the program can accept input as a command line argument, which is obviously very limiting. It may be possible to open the program and send messages to it that would emulate the effect of a user using the program. (Like the guillemot driver installations, they were fun to watch, maybe it's just me :D)

I'm fairly sure it was the graphics drivers for guillemot cards. You ran the executable, and you could see control panel appear, then display properties, then settings. Just as you would do it manually but the program was 'clicking' everything for you.
