Can you edit the registry via command prompt? Say I wanted to change a string value to 0 or 1 can it be done?

If anyone has a batch script that can edit a registry value that would be great.

Thanks in advance.

The only way to edit the registry is through a C++ program with the Windows APIs being used. Because DOS programs have no business accessing windows registry APIs, because they don't normally run in the windows environment, there is no real program for the OS that is made for this task. However, you can create your own C++ program, or ask around for someone that might have already done it.

Ok i have this

(Toggle Plain Text)

REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\test\test\test\testn /v TEST /t  REG_SZ /d 1

but it's "Too many command-line parameters", anyway around this?

EDIT: How do i do a SPACE (blank space) in command prompt? Thats my problem...
