Registry Edit with Batch

[jwillard]

Is it possible to edit an individual string value in the registry with a batch file? If so how do I do it.

Any help is greatly appreciated....

Example:

NAME TYPE_SZ data

VolumeLabelISOTemplate Reg ThisNeedsToBEChanged

NAME TYPE_SZ data

VolumeLabelISOTemplate Reg MakeThisBlank

REG HKLM\something\something\ /V VolumeLabelISOTemplate /D ""

Type REG_SZ is the default.

Well I actually meant a .reg file that I could keep on my desktop to clear that value when I wanted. For anyone else who may want to know it goes like this.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\something\something\something\IsoDoc]
"VolumeLabelISOTemplate"=""


Thanks for the reply...

Make a .CMD file that contains one line:
regedit /s drive:\path:\your_file.reg

Filling in for drive and path as appropriate.

Create a new desktop shortcut and point to your new .CMD file.

I would store both .CMD and .REG file in \Windows\System32

To follow up on my original suggestion using REG.EXE you can use that in the .CMD file instead of using the regedit process.

What if you set the key and value to the desired setting and use the Regedit "Export" to save it on your Desktop, and just right-click on that file to "Merge" it back into the Registry as and when required?

Nice thought Linney.
