I believe you should use %%systemroot%% instead of %systemroot%...

Yes you can but it has to be REG_EXPAND_SZ

CODE

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\ResHack]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\ResHack\command]
@=hex(2):25,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,72,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,25,\
00,5c,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,52,00,65,00,\
73,00,48,00,61,00,63,00,6b,00,65,00,72,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,20,00,25,\
00,31,00,00,00

My command says %systemroot%\System32\ResHacker.exe %1
That gives me right click ResHacker

That's a variable which resolves to the name of the particular file you are opening.
