Hi, today I wanted the CMTrace tool to be recognised in the Set Default Programs control panel applet. There is a bit of information on the net but it’s confusing. In the registry you can set the program, launch arguments, file types and icon. This can be used for any app by modifying the reg…

Modular Task Sequence groups – Just an idea
