Is it possible to modify a registry entry via a .bat/.cmd script?

Question

Is it possible to modify a registry value (whether string or DWORD) via a .bat/.cmd script?

Answer 1

Yes, you can script using the reg command. Example:

reg add HKCU\Software\SomeProduct
reg add HKCU\Software\SomeProduct /v Version /t REG_SZ /d v2.4.6

This would create key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SomeProduct, and add a String value "v2.4.6" named "Version" to that key.

reg /? has the details.
