Question

i’m trying this:

@echo off
reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ /v siavash /t   REG_SZ /d "c:arda1" /f 
start explorer.exe
pause

but i’m getting this in registry
c:arda1
without double quotes
did anybody have the same problem?

Answer 1

That is what is expected. The quotes are used to quote the string you want to add, they are mostly used when the string has a space, but work the same even when they don’t.

If you want to add quotes around the string then try this

"\"c:arda1\""

The \" is the escape character for the " sign, and the outside quotes are just quoting the whole string as normal.

Hope this helps.
