How to Setup a Permanent Doskeys Macro File

I needed to recreate my doskeys.macro file on a new computer. The following commands show how to setup permanent doskey commands.

Open Regedit.

Go to the following regedit directory.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor

Create a new key named Autorun.

    REG_SZ

Value

    doskey /macrofile="d:\util\macros.doskey"

My macros.doskey

These are short key commands that I use every day.

    cr=createcmd
    cu=cleanup
    dl=dlist
    no="C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" $1
    mp=D:\Util\BuildMp3Tag.exe

Added note

I have found a better way to install this registry setting. I open an Administrator command prompt and run the following.

reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor" /v Autorun /d "doskey /macrofile=\"d:\util\macros.doskey\"" /f
    .

To check this.

reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor" /v Autorun

Returns.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor Autorun REG_SZ doskey /macrofile="d:\util\macros.doskey”

Check the registry.
