OK, combining your information with the earlier advice, I haven't found a way to enter the new shell command that works. The Kernel doesn't start. There's a box for arguments to MLOpen (-LinkMode Launch -LinkName "MathKernel -mathlink"), a box for a shell command to launch the kernel (blank by default), and two check boxes. One says "Translate Return into Newline", and one says "Raw MathLink Connection". Both are deselected by default. Where does "start /LOW MathKernel.exe" go?

If I interpret your remark as meaning you don't explicitly issue a command to connect to the Mathematica kernel, then I understand. But I believe you will find the connection to the kernel is via MathLink and is started via a command. > > For example with Mathematica 5.0 running on MacOS 10.3.1 selecting Configuration Options under the Kernel menu brings up a window allowing me to select a kernel. Selecting the local kernel and clicking on edit brings up another window. In this window I can select Advanced Options where I find command line options used to establish a MathLink connection to the kernel. > > So, even though I don't explicitly issue commands to connect to the kernel, it is being started via a command and is a MathLink connection.

Possibly something similar could be done from the Windows Task Manager. Note, using system level commands to quit the kernel independent of Mathematica's front end may not be at all desireable.
