How to add a .REG file to your Registry silently

Posted 2005-03-17 03:39 PM in Programming.

How to add a .REG file to your Registry silently? This question came up today. As is the case usually /s is for silent and /q is for quiet. One will usually work.

regedit /s foo.reg

You can use "reg import foo.reg" as well

I did not know that! REG is a great command line tool! Thanks!

Thomas, great find with the reg tool. I have been hacking around in the registry for years and didn't know this existed. Makes me wonder what else might exist that I don't know about and have been working around for years.

I'll second (or third) that great find Thomas!

Excellent tool.
This could make testing a known good install against a latest install a little easier.

Anyone know if it's XP and up only?

looks like it ships with XP and is in the resource kit for NT/2000.

I just checked and it's also in a default install of Server 2003.
