HKLM (the regedit abbrev) is only local to your machine but changing the
other keys will not affect the network! Rather, it's the network system that
will change your keys.
If you want a special file association spread out, you'll have to include it
into the login script to add the missing key. Ask your domain admin or
consult www.ntfaq.com.
Another solution would be to write it when your program runs BUT, if the
user is not admin of his workstation or the policy forbids the users to
change their registries (which it should), then it's back to the login
script.
Concerning the slashes and quotes and command
use this script in your startup (unless it's for Macs of course) (please
correct if im wrong but it works between NT and 95x.
on CheckShellPlatform
if (the platform = "win32") and (word 1 of the systemversion is "windows")
then
set the shellcommand to "command.com"
else
set the shellcommand to "cmd.exe"
end if
end CheckShellPlatform
and if there is a space in a name in an NTFS volume you'll have to enclose
the string in quotes like this. I dont remember having problems with the /
or \.
Normally, this does the job:
get "dir c:\"
But here, there is a folder/shared folder with a space in it:
get "dir" && quote & "\\server\share test" & quote
get shell(it)
