Q: Why we have to copy regjump.exe to “\WINDOWS\system32\”?
A: good question. Let me explain it in my own words.
Whenever u type any command in cmd prompt and press enter, if it’s not an inbuilt command (like dir, cls, cd etc, often called internal commands during dos times…), then it will search or find the command (mainly exe file) in some path and will execute it. By default it will do this for paths (u can add more path;go to next question to find how)

Code:

%SystemRoot%\system32\
%SystemRoot%
%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem

That’s why I have told to copy regjump.exe file to \WINDOWS\system32\” which is one of the path it searches..

Q: Ok, but what if I don’t want to copy regjump.exe to \WINDOWS\system32\” I copied it to some ‘D:\regjump\’ folder Is there any way to make it work the same?
A: Yes there is a way. Adding the path of folder containing regjump.exe to the system variable called ‘Path’..
Right click on my computer icon and select properties…
Click the Advanced tab; click “Environmental Variables” button present at the bottom;
U can see two variables User and System variables. In the System variable select ‘Path’ and press Edit button; Another window opens; now don’t edit the variable name but u must add the path of folder containing regjump i.e., in our case it’s ‘D:\regjump\’ to the variable value It is important to note that each path must be separated by semicolon..so before appending D:\regjump\ to the path add semicolon at the beginning to separate it from the previous path. Adding semicolon at the end is optional .i.e.,

If the variable value before addition is something like

Code:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem

Then after addition of folder containing regjump path it should be

Code:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;D:\regjump\

Note that u can add semicolon at the end too but it’s not mandatory.

Press Ok and again press Ok and again Ok…

Open cmd prompt and type regjump u must get the same dialog as shown above in the tut.

Q: I hate typing regjump name can’t I use name like jump or something like goreg..
A: Sure u can. it’s so simple…. just rename the file regjump to something u like..And remember to replace the regjump name with the name u had given
