In Windows 7 SP1 a regular verb works fine from a shortcut, but apparently not a subcommand. OTOH, Windows 10 seems to have no problem with this. I just tested the following subcommand for editing .bat files with notepad: reg add HKCU\Software\Classes\batfile\shell\editother\shell\editwithnotepad\command reg add HKCU\Software\Classes\batfile\shell\editother /v MUIVerb /d "Edit Other" reg add HKCU\Software\Classes\batfile\shell\editother /v Subcommands reg add HKCU\Software\Classes\batfile\shell\editother\shell\editwithnotepad /v MUIVerb /d "Edit With Notepad" reg add HKCU\Software\Classes\batfile\shell\editother\shell\editwithnotepad\command /ve /d "C:\Windows\notepad.exe %1" When accessed from the file itself, this works fine in both Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 10 RTM. When accessed from a shortcut, the command works in Windows 10 but does nothing in Windows 7. This independently confirms the issue reported by Thijs as a Windows 7 bug/limitation. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25125> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
