I wrote a small program that disables the WIN key when running Warcraft, but it keeps giving errors - China DOS Union Forum

I'm a newbie, I just started learning batch files. I wrote a small program that disables the WIN key when running Warcraft (very simple), but it keeps giving errors. As soon as I run it, it says "Too many command-line parameters". Please help me take a look, where is the mistake?
@echo off
REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout /v Scancode Map /t REG_BINARY /d 00000000000000000300000000005BE000005CE000000000 /f
Frozen Throne.exe
REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout /v Scancode Map /t REG_BINARY /d /f
I've tried a lot of methods.

Isn't the key value wrong?

I learned this key value this afternoon from other computer tutorials, and I wanted to use this to see whether it works. But CMD says this command line itself is written wrong. I want to ask, how can I write these command lines correctly? If the key value is wrong then forget it, or if anyone knows the correct key value, please tell me, I'd be extremely grateful.

I'm not familiar with REG, the registry, and that kind of thing, so there's no way I can help you much, brother. Just a small suggestion :）

In the code in post #1, I noticed there is a space here in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout — there is a space between Keyboard and Layout, right?

Try putting quotes around this kind of content containing spaces when using REG to operate on the registry, to tell REG that this is a single "whole", so REG doesn't mistakenly treat the part after the space as a parameter or some command :）

"HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout"

Is Scancode Map the name of the value? If it's also a single name containing a space in the middle, put quotes around it too, like this: "Scancode Map"

When dealing with directories, filenames, etc. that contain spaces, you should also put them in quotes, so Windows will correctly recognize them as one "whole" instead of some parameter or something else……

Ah, thank you so much, it's solved. Many thanks, many thanks.

Seems like it only takes effect after a reboot, right???
