How to write value to registry that has quotations

[obiwantuxedo]

How can I write the following value to the registry:

cmd.exe /k \"cd %1\"

I am trying to write this to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command\command\ but the bit in quotations is giving me problems. If I try
WshShell.RegWrite "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command\command\", "cmd.exe /k \"cd %1\"" , "REG_SZ" I get an error message because of the two sets of double quotations. Using singles writes the value without error, but does not work.

Use Chr(34) instead of the quotation marks (the ascii number for &quot

WshShell.RegWrite "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command\command\", "cmd.exe /k \" & chr(34) & "cd %1\" & chr(34) , "REG_SZ"

Thanks, that worked great.

or use two double quotes:

WshShell.RegWrite "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command\command\", "cmd.exe /k \""cd %1\""" , "REG_SZ" Jon Hawkins
