[help]registry guru's
I have 2 problems which I could use a registry guru's help with.

Problem 1:

I need some help adding a special folder to My Computer
the following reg file did not add the Folder as hoped.
-------------------------Begin------------------------
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FD4DF9E0-E3DE-11CE-BFCF-ABCD1DE12345}]
@="Logs"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FD4DF9E0-E3DE-11CE-BFCF-ABCD1DE12345}\DefaultIcon]
@="%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll",-5

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FD4DF9E0-E3DE-11CE-BFCF-ABCD1DE12345}\InprocServer
32]
@="%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FD4DF9E0-E3DE-11CE-BFCF-ABCD1DE12345}\Shell\Open
My Menu\Command]
@="explorer /root,c:\Logs"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FD4DF9E0-E3DE-11CE-BFCF-ABCD1DE12345}\ShellEx\Prop
ertySheetHandlers\{FD4DF9E0-E3DE-11CE-BFCF-ABCD1DE12345}]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FD4DF9E0-E3DE-11CE-BFCF-ABCD1DE12345}\ShellFolder]
"Attributes"=hex:00,00,00,00
------------------------------END-------------------


Problem 2:

I am trying to enter windows command prompts in the registry to run some commands, they look like this

[REGISTRY KEY]
"Exec"="WindowsCommand"

When I try to add "/" to extend the windows command as u would normally the command fails. I was reading in an Oreilly book that U can enter the commands the same as U would in commad.exe not commad.com fine no problem but this turns out not to be true in this case.

So does anyone have any solution as to why I can use:

"Exec"="somecommand"
as aposse to
"Exec"="somecommand /somecommands extention"
