apppath.exe
===========
Print `App Paths`.
```
$ apppath.exe wordpad.exe
"%ProgramFiles%\Windows NT\Accessories\WORDPAD.EXE"
```
Some applications are executable even if it is not on %PATH%.
Because the application's fullpath is written in
`HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths`.
This program shows it.
Example
-------
Build with the solution of Visual Studio.
Batchfile:
```
for /F "tokens=*" %%D in ('apppath devenv.exe') do "%%D" example.sln /build Release
```
is substituted to :
```
"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" example.sln /build Debug
```
We need not to run the heavy batchfile vcvarsall.bat so-called "Visual Studio Command Prompt."
Misc.
----
`apppath.exe` is same as:
```
for /F "skip=2 tokens=2*" %%I in ('reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\%1" /ve') do echo %%J
```
