From: WVMontani on 25 Jun 2010 07:31 I keep a .reg file in my startup directory so it runs and modifies the registry every time I log in (long story). Anyways, when the .reg file runs, it prompts me and asks it I want to modify the registry. My answer of course, is always "Yes." Is there a way that I can make the .reg file just run and default to "Yes" without the prompt? -WVMontani

For example, to silently run the .reg file (with the /s switch) from a batch file, use the following syntax: regedit.exe /s path of .reg file Bernd

Use a batch file and have Regedit.exe merge the file using the /s switch, example: regedit /s c:\regfile.reg Put the batch file or a shortcut to the file in the Startup folder, do not place the regfile.reg in the Startup folder.

Agreed, though, it's a nuisance for the highly informed user. |
