hi...
the format for adding a registry key through opening a file *.reg is:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_YADA]
"string_name"="string_value"
but what i want to know is how can i add two keys with the one file??
i have tired duplicating this directly underneath (different values of course) leaving a space, removing the regedit4 bit with and without a space. and it only seems to add the one key in...
any ideas???
it just seems really strange to me, and that it should work the way i want it to.
Here's what a .reg file looks like when it's been exported from the registry - and it contains multiple values:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"QuickTime Task"="\"C:\\Program Files\\QuickTime\\qttask.exe\" -atboottime"
"WinVNC"="\"C:\\Program Files\\RealVNC\\WinVNC\\WinVNC.exe\" -servicehelper"
"TkBellExe"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Real\\Update_OB\\realsched.exe\" -osboot"
"DAEMON Tools-1033"="\"C:\\Program Files\\D-Tools\\daemon.exe\" -lang 1033"
"McAfeeUpdaterUI"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Network Associates\\Common Framework\\UpdaterUI.exe\" /StartedFromRunKey"
"CertReg"="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Gemplus\\CertReg\\certreg.exe"
"NGServer"="C:\\Program Files\\Symantec\\Ghost\\ngserver.exe"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents\IMAIL]
"Installed"="1"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents\MAPI]
"NoChange"="1"
"Installed"="1"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents\MSFS]
"Installed"="1"
Seems to put everything where it's supposed to on this machine (w2k)
thanks, i just realised where i went wrong.
i was trying to put 2 keys in the same location, but was also trying to define the same location twice, making one entry void.
thanks, and now that i think of it i should have exported and learnt from that :p :shrugs:
