Reg in batch help

Comment:

I have this command in my batch file, reg ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v Test123 /d "%Systemdrive%\test123.bat" /f And it doesn't add it to the registry, why? Thanks

E:\>reg ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v Test123 /d "%Systemdrive%\test123.bat" /f The operation completed successfully It works fine for me. The only thing that comes to mind is if %SystemDrive% already has quotes, but I've never heard of that.
