Certain Reg Tweaks Not Working


996

Recommended Posts

The comand line reg tweak for every folder...

;Add Open Command Window Here to right click menu
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd]
@="Open Command Window Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd\command]
@="cmd.exe /k \"cd %L\

...doesn't work. It installs fine but if one tries to use it the following error appears:

"C:\Program Files

This File does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel."

How can this be fixed?

Also...

;Use Small Icons in Windows Explorer
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"SmallIcons"="yes"

...this does not work. It simply has no effect on the explorer icons (they still appear large).

Any ideas?

Strange. This is how my CMDHere tweak is written:

;This adds the "Open Command Window Here" on the right-click menu for drives and folders
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd]
@="Open Command Window Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd\command]
@="cmd.exe /k \"cd %L\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmd]
@="Open Command Window Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmd\command]
@="cmd.exe /k \"cd %L\""

Am I failing to notice a simple mistake, anyone? His command looks pretty much like how I inputted it.

Thanx guys, Marztabators code worked just fine plus it came with the command line for drives, not just folders. I didn't explicity test it but it looks like the missing "" was the fault.

The code in my first post was a cut/paste from DaveXP's Registry Hacks website. Maybe we should tell him...

So any ideas on the small icons fpr explorer?
