Nevertheless, to do this:

- Clck on it with the right button > Properties
- On Destiny, after the "game folder" add -nomoviestartup
At the end it should look like this: "GAME FOLDER/GAME.EXE" -nomoviestartup
If you have the game on steam do this:
- Right click on Borderlands on your steam games list
- Click Properties
- Click on Set Launch Options
- Add nomoviestartup
Fixing Performance Issues
Some systems, despite exceeding the recommended specs, simply to do not run Borderlands well. Even after turning down graphical options, the frame rates can be much lower than would be expected. Taking these steps can help make the game much more responsive and raise frame rates significantly. If Borderlands is running poorly on an otherwise stout system, try the following:
- Add "-dx9" to the command line (helps fps)
- Edit the willowengine.ini file in "borderlands/willowgame/config". Find "vsync" and set it to True (helps with tearing)
