I want to write a batch file that adds a function in the registry to open a file with WinHex from the right-click menu.

The content is as follows:
reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\WinHex 编辑\command"

/ve /d (the path where Winhex is located)\Winhex.exe "%1"
The batch file and Winhex.exe are in the same folder.

My question is: how can this be done with a batch file?

%cd% current working directory

%~dp0 the path where the batch file is located

This problem bothered me for a long time too. It wasn't until one day when I manually added it in regedit and then exported it as a reg file, observed it, and tried again, that I finally succeeded.

The quotation marks (") have to be handled with the registry escape character, the backslash (\).

@echo off

reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\WinHex 编辑\command" /ve /d "\"%cd%\Winhex.exe\" \"%%1\""

pause

Many thanks to the two posters above, it worked.

Thanks for sharing
