I found two ways:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\TeamViewer\TeamViewer.exe" -i COMPUTERNAME

and

teamviewer8://remotecontrol?connectcc=ID

But both this is connection asking for a password. How to make a shortcut with a connection request?

Found how to do it.

On the remote machine (can be via a TeamViewer connection) Options -> Security -> Random Password, set to anything other than "Disabled", I used 10 Chars.

Then on the TeamViewer dialogue, click "Connect with TeamViewer ID", this shows the ID and the new password TeamViewer has created.

You can copy that to the clip board.

Then you can call the machine from the command line via:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\TeamViewer\TeamViewer.exe" -i <ID> -p <password>

Perfect, thanks! For those wondering, the "TeamViewer dialogue" is on the remote machine by clicking "show status dialog" from the same menu as "options"

From the menu, I can connect to this computer using both way:

Remote control prompt for confirmation

and

Remote control using password

When using a desktop shortcut, "Remote control using password" is always used.
