I tried this from the FAQ:
Here is an alternative solution for multi-core issues: Modify the "Target" option in your Thief shortcut to C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start /affinity 1 thief2.exe
to dedicate the first CPU core to the game (or "/affinity 2" for the second, and so on).
It just made the shortcut into a thing that had a dos icon and would for a split second brief up the dos command screen but wouldn't start the game. I've got an duocore Dell XPS 410 with a 4650 w/ 1 gig of RAM.

I have absolutely no knowledge of this issue, but if you open a command prompt and type the exact same command, it will run without immediately closing the window afterwards - so you may be able to see an error message explaining why it isn't working.
Just guessing but it might be because it can't find the file - maybe "thief2.exe" needs to be the full path to the file eg "c:\games\thief2\thief2.exe"

Either this, or add thief2.exe to the registry section
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths

Just tried it myself for the first time - worked a treat!
