Registry file syntax
Why did this registry file syntax just created only EMPTY keys?
===== start here ===== Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\App Paths\myfamily.exe] @="c:\path\myfamily.exe" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\App Paths\myfriends.exe] @="c:\path\myfriends.exe" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\App Paths\mycoworkers.exe] @="c:\path\mycoworkersexe" ===== end here ===== All I did was export and edit the App Paths registry key. I ended up with BLANK keys for myfamily, mfriends, and mycoworkers. What is wrong with my registry file syntax? |

I spelled things wrong when I transcribed the real file to the fake file below. The syntax I am using is this which is creating empty keys. ===== start here ===== Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\App Paths\myfamily.exe] @="c:\path\myfamily.xls" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\App Paths\myfriends.exe] @="c:\path\myfriends.docx" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\App Paths\mycoworkers.exe] @="c:\path\mycoworkers.txt" ===== end here ===== Why would that create empty keys? The default key should be set to the path to the given file if it works. |
