Shortcut how regedit

[Cybermurder]

Hello,

in the example file example.xml is a part how shows so:

	 <execute 
    display='Applying tweaks...' 
    program='regedit' 
    arguments='/s "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\PostInstall\RegTweak.reg"'
    username='Spike'
    password='swordfish'
    />

The part with program='regedit' do interesting me.. Why just regedit? Why not %Systemroot%/regedit.exe?. Can i use regsvr32 so standalone, too? :

<execute program='regsvr32' arguments='/u /s zipfldr.dll' hide='true' />

never tested it.. never used it...

but should work... go to CMD and type 'path' every *.exe *.cmd well you can run everything from there without typing the path

lol.... is there anyone who can convert this to standard english pls?

That's right.

Yes, you can use regedit, regsvr32, CMD, cscript, notepad, and such EXEs directly, without needing to give full path-names. If you want to see what other executables can be directly run, go to this registry key for a full list:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths

All the EXEs listed there can be directly run. How does it work?

The listed EXEs there, have their full-paths already known to the system/registry - so that you don't need to specify the path.

It also searches %PATH%.

Err. n/m. I didn't read the other post.
