Do you think that notepad.exe could become a full scope Windows shell? – JosefZ – 2015-01-25T00:13:16.493

Easiest way to add a key is to manually use Regedit to create the key, then export just that key. This i a .REG file, rather than a .BAT or .EXE, but you can add it via "regedit.exe /S yourfile.reg" in a CMD prompt or BAT file run as Administrator. – DrMoishe Pippik – 2015-01-25T04:55:27.757
