Hello,

I would like to know how to querry a registery value, meaning check for the value of a given key and if the ky is equal to abcde call a certain program.

And also the same for the running processes, if notepad.exe is running call a certain program.

Thank You

AlmnIf your MACHINE supports it, try using TASKLIST and filtering the RESULTS thru FIND:

Code: [Select]tasklist | find "notepad.exe" > NUL & if not errorlevel 1 echo Notepad is executing

Note: Not all OSes support the TASKLIST command.

Need more info on the registry request. The hive and the key would be helpful.

8-)Thanks ,

The key would be "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"

and the hive would be "Kernel"

Thank You

AlmnDoes this work for you?

Code: [Select]set k=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
set v=Kernel
set d=abcde
reg query %k% /v %v%|findstr /i "%v%.REG_SZ.%d%">NUL&&echo.call a certain programIn case the search string "%v%.REG_SZ.%d%" is not correct run reg query %k% /v %v% by itself to see what the reg function returns and MAKE adjustments as necessarily.

A simple reg query %k% /v %v%|find /i "%d%">NUL&&... may also do it for you.
Remove the /i switch for case sensitive comparison.

More info about conditional execution using && or || is available
