Register
Registers a program so that it has special execution characteristics.
Syntax
register FileName [{/system | /user}] [/v]
Parameters
- FileName
Specifies the name of the file you want to register.
- /system
Registers FileName as a system global resource.
- /user
Registers FileName as a user global resource.
- /v
Displays additional information.
- /?
Displays help at the command prompt.
Remarks
Only administrators can use register.
Some complex applications and subsystems need to execute in a system global context to establish resources that are common to more than one logon.
Registration data for a program is recognized only when the program is installed. If you issue a register command for a program that is already installed, the changes take effect the next time the program is installed.
Examples
To register a program as a system global resource, type:
register program.exe /system
To register a program as a user global resource, type:
register program.exe /user
