re: how do u open regedit in win xp home Saturday, September 20, 2003 at 10:19 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Mazdak (40 messages posted) My problem was not knowing how to start regedit but that it started and closed down right away. The same was true with all my "exe" files. I could only call them withing batch files. See my solution further down the thread: Open the registry by calling regedit.exe within a batch file. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command should have a default value of: "%1" %* exactly as I have typed. This value is sometimes removed during a virus check and .exe files will not be run afterwards. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cmdfile\shell\open\command which preserves its default value of "%1" %* makes it possible to run .exe files indirectly from within batch files On Saturday, September 20, 2003 at 8:49 am, no_need_to_thank_me wrote: > >start->run->regedit.....that'll get u there > Written in response to: re: how do u open regedit in win xp home (no_need_to_thank_me: Saturday, September 20, 2003 at 8:49 am) There are presently no replies to this message.
