stupid registry question ...

don't laugh cause i can't get it to work ... maybe it can't be done or maybe i'm doing it wrong ...
anyways i want to add some verbs to some file formats that will launch a command line program (case in point flac'ing or lame'ing a wave file).
can i add this to a registry verb so i can just right click it and boom it does it ... it save me alot of time if possible.
thanx 4 feedback

Simplest way is to shell cmd.exe with the correct arguments; this only works for short scripts though:

Registry Script Sample (sets the archive flag by calling attrib):



Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00



[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellarchive]

@="Set Archive Flag"



[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shellarchivecommand]

@="cmd.exe /c attrib +a "%1""

If you want the console box to stick around afterwards, use /k instead of /c. If you want a more complicated script to run, run a batch script - you can pass all the parameters to it using %* (the parameters will be all the selected files)

Hope this helps!
