Home / Blog / 22-10-06 - Create The Equivalent To .bashrc For Windows CMD

WARNING: This did break an application which ran (in the background) in (I assume) some CMD shell… Took me an age to work this out.

Create a cmdrc.bat file, for example:

@echo off
set GITHUB_TOKEN=[here is my github token]

Get this executed each time a CMD session starts by adding a registry key specifying the path of the cmdrc.bat file. The following script should be run as Admin:

:: ##################################################################################
@echo off
color 04
title Add cmd rc to registry

:: ##################################################################################
set "OpenCurrentFolderKey=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor"
set "cmdRcPath=C:\scripts\cmdrc.bat"
REG ADD "%OpenCurrentFolderKey%" /v "AutoRun" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "\"%cmdRcPath%\""

:: ##################################################################################
pause>nul
exit /b
   
:: ##################################################################################
