Automatically run executable files with third party program/script in Windows

Question

It is possible to launch an exe file using a third party program through the context menu.

My problem is that an exe file might be triggered by a script or by another application on which I don't have control.

How can I force every executable files to run using a third party program/script ?

Comodo Programs Manager has a running service that automatically monitor any installation of exe file. How do they proceed ? Is it possible to listen to specific events ?

I thought I could use a BATCH script by :

• replacing the default registry key of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command by something like path\to\my\script.bat "%1 %*"

• in the script, do custom stuff like logging and then call the executable :

  ...
  
  echo %DATE% %TIME% %* >> "somewhere\logging.txt"
  
  ...
  
  :2
  @REM Monitor file (same as context menu open with ...)
  path/to/monitoring.exe %*
  goto end
  
  ...
  

This would work for a PDF file for example. But it obviously doesn't work for executables because path/to/monitoring.exe %*, when executed, is running the script again ... and I can't find a way to launch an executable without going through the registry file association.

Is it something possible ?
