Command line parameter from registry 2

[Overdoos]

Hello,

I didn't find any post on this subject, but if there are that you know of, please direct me to them.

I wonder if it is possible in Windows 2000 to feed a value from a registry key as a command line parameter (in a shortcut) or even as a dynamic value in a config-file for a program we use (custom development)

tnx,

If at first you don't succeed, keep at it until you can't even think straight !

Well you could write a batch file which

- extracts a registry key to a text file (using regedit command line)
- calls the program with registry key value (may need to extract right bit from the file - eg, using a for statement)

But don't know if this is what you want.

At least three ways I can think of. This is not a hard issue to accomplish:
