Question

I want to change the default program to open .bat files to cmder , so in the registry key : HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile\shell\open\command I did as following :

But when I open some .bat file I get the following error :

How can I solve this ?

Edit :

I changed the registry key value to : C:\Dev\Cmdr\Cmder.exe "%1"

But I get this message whenever I open some batch file:

The directory name is invalid.

Answer 1

You need to use quotes around the %1, otherwise paths with blanks in them arrvie as separate parameters: ...cmder “%1”

Answer 2

I tried with ConEmu. I appended this string to the existing:

C:\(path_to_app)\ConEmu64.exe "%1" %*

The last part ("%1" %*) was there before the edit.

So I think you need to add %* after your whole string value in regedit (in your case): C:\Dev\Cmdr\Cmder.exe "%1" %*
