reg-query: Display a specific value of a key.
$ reg query ${key_name} /v ${value}
try on your machine

The command "reg query ${key_name} /v ${value}" is a Windows command that is used to query the Registry for a specific registry key value.

Here is an explanation of the command:

  • "reg query" is the command used to query the Registry.
  • "${key_name}" is a placeholder for the name of the key to be queried. This should be replaced with the actual name of the key you want to query.
  • "/v" is an option that specifies that you want to retrieve the value of a specific registry key.
  • "${value}" is another placeholder for the name of the value you want to retrieve. This should be replaced with the actual name of the value you are interested in.

When you run the command, it will search the Registry for the specified key (${key_name}) and retrieve the value (${value}) associated with it. The value will then be displayed in the command prompt.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
