Hello,

I was trying to make a shell command for a new file type i was creating, so
i created a registry key that led to the file that was used for the command:
it was something like this:

A file something.exe was stored in %systemdirectory%
and the registrykey (string, default, etc) said
%SystemDirectory%\something.exe "%1"

My problem was that when i tried to use the command i had a message box that
said:
Somedir\something.exe
access is denied

and i tried several combinations for my registri to work, the only thing i
could do was to give it the real path something like
c:\windows\system32\something.exe "%1" but that isnt useful.

Well, thanks in advance, just for reading this, luck to you all..
 
It keeps telling me that "Acces is denied"


Use %System%\System32\something.exe

or

%SystemRoot%\System32\something.exe

[[If a message MUST be posted to multiple groups, post a single message and
select all the groups (or type their names manually, separated by commas) in
which you want it to be seen. This is called Crossposting and when used
properly it is *GOOD*.

This question was posted individually to multiple groups.

This is called Multiposting and it's *BAD*.

Replies made in one group will not be visible in the other groups, which
may cause multiple people to respond to a question with the same answer
because they didn't know someone else had already done it.

This is a waste of time. ]]

With Outlook Express, which you're using...

To send your message to multiple newsgroups on the same news server, in the
New Message dialog box, click the icon next to Newsgroups. In the Pick
Newsgroups dialog box, click one or more newsgroups from the list (hold down
the CTRL key to select multiple newsgroups), and then click Add. You can
choose from all newsgroups or only those you subscribe to by clicking Show
only subscribed newsgroups.

You can send a given message to more than one newsgroup at a time only if
all the newsgroups are on the same news server. To post a message to
newsgroups on other news servers, create a separate message for each news
server.
