reg add "HKCU\Software\Classes\ivue\Shell\Open\Command" /f /v "" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "C:\ProgramData\NISC\.nisc.jnlptools\DesktopManager\ivue_desktop_manager.exe %1"

This code is a Windows reg command used to create or modify a registry entry in the Windows Registry. Here's a breakdown of what it does:

  1. reg add: This is the command to add or modify a registry entry.

  2. "HKCU\Software\Classes\ivue\Shell\Open\Command": Specifies the registry path where the value will be added or modified.

    • HKCU is the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive, which applies to the current logged-in user.
    • The path Software\Classes\ivue\Shell\Open\Command is specific to handling a file association for the ivue file type.
  3. /f: Forces overwriting any existing value without prompting for confirmation.

  4. /v "": Specifies the name of the value being set. In this case, it is an unnamed default value (also referred to as (Default) in the registry).

  5. /t REG_EXPAND_SZ: Sets the type of the registry value. REG_EXPAND_SZ is a type that allows the value to contain environment variables which are dynamically expanded.

  6. /d "C:\ProgramData\NISC\.nisc.jnlptools\DesktopManager\ivue_desktop_manager.exe %1": Specifies the data for the value being set. The data in this case is a command-line string:

    • C:\ProgramData\NISC\.nisc.jnlptools\DesktopManager\ivue_desktop_manager.exe: The full path to an executable file.
    • %1: A placeholder that represents the first argument, commonly the file name or path that the user attempts to open.

What the code does:

This code sets up a file association for the ivue file type. It updates the (Default) value under the Command key of the Registry. This tells Windows to execute the program ivue_desktop_manager.exe (located at C:\ProgramData\NISC\.nisc.jnlptools\DesktopManager\) whenever a file associated with the ivue extension is opened. The %1 ensures the program is passed the file being opened as an argument.

In summary, the code associates the .ivue file type with the ivue_desktop_manager.exe program, enabling the program to handle .ivue files when the user attempts to open them.
