Create a Template WBT file
Question:
I was wondering if there was a way to use a template WBT file somehow when creating new winbatch files. I am trying to keep my code in a certain format and layout, and currently copy a template wbt file to do that (when I remember). I was wondering if there was any way to have the default wbt file be my template so I don't have to manually remember to do this every time. For example when I right click in a folder and select New | Winbatch file, it would create a new file with my template instead.
Answer:
Ummm. Yes, kinda. We don't actually support it, but the idea is that there are some registry entires what control all that.
Create the template WBT file and place it in the "ShellNew" directory
under your Windows directory. Then run this script to make the
necessary registry entry (assuming the file name is "template.wbt"):
RegSetValue(@REGCLASSES, ".WBT\ShellNew[FileName]", "template.wbt")
