Enabling start of On-Demand Scan task from context menu

You can enable the start of On-Demand Scan task for one or several files from a context menu in Microsoft Windows Explorer.

To enable the start of On-Demand Scan task from a context menu:

1. Create the following REG files:

   Windows Registry Editor Version 5.0.0

   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\kess\command]

   @="C:\\Temp\\scan.cmd \"%1\""

   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\kess\command]

   @="C:\\Temp\\scan.cmd \"%1\""

   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\kess]

   @="Scan with Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security\"

   "Icon"="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Kaspersky Lab\\Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security\\kavtrayr.dll\",0"

   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\kess\DefaultIcon]

   @="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Kaspersky Lab\\Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security\\kavtrayr.dll\",0"

   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\kess]

   @="Scan with Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security\"

   "Icon"="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Kaspersky Lab\\Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security\\kavtrayr.dll\",0"

   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\kess\DefaultIcon]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Kaspersky Lab\\Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security\\kavtrayr.dll\",0"

   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers]

   "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Kaspersky Lab\\Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security\\kavshell.exe"="~ RUNASADMIN"

   You need to specify the actual location of the Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security installation folder.

2. Create the scan.cmd file with the following content:

   @echo off
set LOGNAME=%RANDOM%

   "C:\Program Files (x86)\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security\kavshell.exe" scan "%~1" /W:c:\temp\%LOGNAME%.txt

   echo Scanning is in progress...
type c:\temp\%LOGNAME%.txt
del c:\temp\%LOGNAME%.txt

   timeout /t -1

   The scan.cmd file must contain the following information:

   • The location of kavshell.exe file.
   • The location of temporary file containing the scan results.
   • Parameters for the KAVSHELL SCAN command.
   • The timeout value for closing the console window when the task is finished.
3. Copy the scan.cmd file to the folder specified in the [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\kess\command] REG file.

   The C:\Temp folder is used in example.

You don't need to restart the operating system.
