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:
-
reg add
: This is the command to add or modify a registry entry. -
"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 theivue
file type.
-
/f
: Forces overwriting any existing value without prompting for confirmation. -
/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). -
/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. -
/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.
