Creating registry "scripts"

[Kris Ennay]

Hey,

I'm not sure what to refer to a file that when ran will
automatically update the registry (i.e. insert a few keys,
change some values) but I will call it a script. I was
wondering how I can create one of these scripts? Is it
like writing a Perl script (i.e. open notepad, write, save
as .pl and run)?

If not, how are these scripts created?

Thanks a bunch for any and all help provided

Hi

You can use VBScript running under Windows Script Host (WSH). You put the code
into a text file and save it as .vbs and run.

(WSH) Web introductions, take a look here:
