Hi I needed to enclose the values in double quotes :

Code: Select all

Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AutoHotkeyScript\Shell\Edit\Command
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe" "%1"

FYI for anyone who wants this. On my new computer with Windows 10, the following key was the one needed to make the editor change work for my portable AHK.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\AutoHotkey.exe\shell\edit\command

Here's a little script I improved from the archived forums about the same issue (not necessarily windows 10) hope it helps someone

Code: Select all

If not A_IsAdmin{
Run *RunAs "%A_ScriptFullPath%" ; causes script to reload and be run as admin
}
#SingleInstance, Force ; prevent's 2nd prompt to change the editor
InputBox, UserInput, Default AutoHotKey Editor change, Please enter a full path name for your editor
if ErrorLevel
    MsgBox, Ah... Don't want - so bye :)
else
{
    MsgBox, Changing default AutoHotKey editor to "%UserInput%"
    RegWrite, REG_SZ, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, AutoHotkeyScript\Shell\Edit\Command,, "%UserInput%" "`%1"
}
