setting compatibility mode via CMD

I've figured it out how to do so. In case somebody wants to do the same here's how it goes:

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers" /v \""C:\Path\to\exe.exe\" /t REG_SZ /d "WIN95" /f

If you want to add more than one attribute you have to change the part after /d, for example:

/d "WINXPSP3 256COLOR 640X480"

And last but not least if you want to do it from the directory you're currently into you change the path according to this:

/v "%CD%\exe.exe"

• Other compatibility options:

Display Settings

Value	Description
DISABLETHEMES	Disable Visual Themes
640X480	Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution
HIGHDPIAWARE	Disable display scaling on high DPI settings
256COLOR	Run in 256 colors
DISABLEDWM	Disable Desktop Composition

 

Privilege Level

Value	Description
RUNASADMIN	Run program as an administrator

 

If the settings are written into the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE part of the registry, the settings cannot be changed by a user that has no local administrative rights.

The following registry command line applies Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode and defines the application to run as administrator.

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers" /v "C:\temp\compatmodel\iconsext.exe" /t REG_SZ /d "WINXPSP3 RUNASADMIN" /f
