How Desktop Manager reads Windows registry to find Program Information

In Desktop Manager Setup document, you are many to add path to specific executable like javaw.exe or skype.exe, but you need to know how Desktop Manager reads the Windows Registry to find the path to the executable.

Desktop Manager reads this following path :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\App Paths\\

Where for each installed program on the user's workstation, we read the "Path" key.

If Desktop Manager Audit doesn't show information about a specific program, it's possible that this program isn't listed in the above registry path. So, you might need to specify the full path of your exe (in the full path, you can also use keywords such as %PROGRAMFILES%).

Hope this helps,
