Windows – Update Windows Registry for all users

windowswindows-registry

I have a piece of script to update windows registry. But it turned out that it works only for the users who ran the script. The script is shown as below. Can anyone tell me how to apply the changes to all users in a computer?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.sapssd] @="SapFront.App"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.ssd] @="SapFront.App"

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is a pseudo registry hive that contains both the keys found in the per-user settings under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes and the system-global settings under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes. Writes to the HKCR pseudo hive go to the per-user settings under HKCU. If you want to update the system-global settings you should write to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes instead.

Windows – Putting code into registry command key

Your problem is that the line in command is not executed through cmd.exe – it is executed through Explorer, which does not understand cmd.exe's built-in for command. You will need to put your script in a separate file (e.g. flatten.cmd) and run that. (Note that you will need to change %f to %%f then.)
