regedit command line

[Patrick Muylaert]

I wanna use regedit on command line level to upgrade clients.
Now it dont work in protected mode. Is there any other utility
or sharew that allows me to upgrade the registry through
login scripts ??

Generated .reg-files can be imported into the registry from real mode, by
using regedit.
These .reg-files are merged into the registry as ex:
c:\windows\regedit.exe c:\temp\regfile.reg

you can also delete entire key from the dos command as:
c:\windows\regedit.exe /D HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MYKEY

This wil delete the key and all subkeys! so be carefull.

Note that you merge data into the registry, so you cannot delete strings
under a key, only change it.

You need to create a file called (for example) changes.reg that includes
the registry keys that you want changed.
Then on the command it would be REGEDIT CHANGES.REG.
