What is the difference between the two command line switches?

The effect of -C & -T are much the same, but with subtle differences: at the end of a -C game, you see the Victory Dialog, followed by the file save dialog, followed by a return to the frontend launcher, etc. With -T there are no human interactions whatsoever, the game launches, plays itself, then directly exits. -T is meant more for batch operation, when you might want to play many games in succession (like I would when running a long series of crash test trials, for example).

Strangely, I just installed CS on a new Win7 64-bit computer, and it automatically launches in windowed mode without the -W switch.

Yes, it will automatically launch in the windowed mode.

The frontend launchers automatically pass the -W switch to the game engines as they launch. It's totally transparent to you, the user.
