🪀 A Node.js module for reading the AppPaths registry key on Windows. Useful for retrieving applications that can be launched from the command prompt. 🗃
Uses reg.exe, WINDOWS ONLY!
I work hard for every project, including this one and your support means a lot to me!
Consider buying me a coffee. ☕
Thank you for supporting my efforts! 🙏😊
