Wincito can't user parameters and has an ugly work around for attempting to use them. One way I use parameters all the time is to look up a PostCode (ZipCode). I just type in PCode Yarraville and Slickrun passes the value of the suburb (Yarraville) into the URL of the AusPost website and returns me the results page of the PostCode for the suburb. (See also the YubNub example of the same thing above). In an earlier incarnation of Google Desktop Search the deskbar also did something similar with parameters and custom URL's but I can't seem to find it in the current release of Google Desktop.

I can't recall the last time, I used the Start menu... SlickRun looks a lot like http://wincito.sourceforge.net/

But I can easily create a magic word in SlickRun or an ActiveWord for something as simple as that - Yub Nub's power is in it's parameters... check it out, you will find something in the vast array of commands that will be useful for you.
