1. It's not just for programs. It is for documents too. How are you using
it.
2. Attached file selectively deletes entries.
3. When typing documents you must include the path unless it's in C:\windows
or your Userprofile directory. (There is a browse button)
4. You must also include the extension
5. If it;s the same file(s) you want to access.
Help Windows Find Programs and Documents
Programs and documents can be added to the registry so typing their name
without their path in the Start - Run dialog box or shortcut enables Windows
to find them.
This is a generic reg file. Copy the lines below to a new Text Document and
save it as anyname.reg. Edit it with your programs or documents.
In paths use \\ to seperate folder names in key paths as regedit uses a
single \ to seperate it's key names. All reg files start with REGEDIT4. A
semicolon turns a line into a comment. The @ symbol means to assign the
value to the key rather than a named value.
The file doesn't have to exist. This can be used to set Word.exe to open
Winword.exe.
This sample add IE.Txt (from IE5) to the registry so typing IE.Txt will open
it. I think the file is called IE4.txt in IE4.
REGEDIT4
;The bolded name below is the name of the document or program,
<filename>.<file extension>
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\App
Paths\IE.txt]
;The @ means the path to the file is assigned to the default value for the
key.
;The whole path in enclosed in a quotation mark ".
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\IE.txt\""
;Optional Parameters. The semicolon means don't process the line. Remove it
if you want to put it in the registry
;Informs the shell that the program accepts URLs.
;"useURL"="1"
;Sets the path that a program will use as its' default directory. This is
commented out.
;"Path"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\"
If you put an entry in, like ie.exe and link it to ie.txt then typing ie
will open ie.txt.
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\App
Paths\IE.exe]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\IE.txt\""
