Help with D2R Shortcut Launching Game

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to have the shortcut for D2R *ACTUALLY* launch the game, fully. Or if there's a way to make a batch file that will do so.

I'm not looking to bypass the Blizzard launcher at all. I dont want to play only offline (by way of the D2R.exe shortcut), I am cool with having the launcher running, whether open on desktop or in the taskbar, but I am just trying to get back to the good ol' days of CLICK SHORTCUT... PROGRAM OPENS.

Everything I've read during my googles is about bypassing the launcher, or playing without an internet connection, or whatever. I remember at one point I had launch options for the shortcut that did this, but I can't remember what it was, or find the command again. The things I've tried so far don't work. Adding username, password, battlenet address into the shortcut causes an authenticator approval and then sits there loading. So I am hopeful someone here might know a fix. I dunno if there might be a batch file that basically opens the launcher, launches the game, then closes launcher back to taskbar. I don't know really. Just hoping for something, because I've looked for a long time and come up with nothing.
