During testing we want to start application with the small start command that seems to work for some applications.
START chrome //-starts Google Chrome
This also works for Firefox, Notepad and many other applications. But our problem is that is doesn’t seems to work on all machines. ‘START chrome’ works on 80% of our cloned testmachines, but not not on the other.
How does the START-command work when you pass e.g. ‘chrome’?
Where does it look up the path?
Found it, the paths are located here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
List all of them:
reg query “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths” /s
