regedit.exe [/s /e /a ] regfile "path-to-key" (W2k/XP)

/s silent
regedit /s <Drive:>\FolderName\FileName.reg

/e export
regedit /e "<Drive:>\FolderName\FileName.reg" "KeyPath"

/a ANSI format
regedit /a "<Drive:>\FolderName\FileName.reg" "KeyPath"


From my notes. I have no link handy.

REGEDIT /C filename2
REGEDIT /E filename3 [regpath1]
REGEDIT /E:A filename3 [regpath1]
REGEDIT /A filename3 [regpath1]

/L:system Specifies the location of the SYSTEM.DAT file. 'Can be added
on the command line

/R:user Specifies the location of the USER.DAT file. 'Can be added
on the command line

filename1 Specifies the file(s) to import into the registry.

/E filename3 Specifies the file to export the registry to.

/E:A and /A Specifies ASCII output for W2k/WXP

regpath1 Specifies the starting registry key to export from.
(Defaults to exporting the entire registry).


Importing:
REGEDIT filename1 filename2 filename3 ....
REGEDIT /s "filename1" [filename2 filename3 ....] ' /s = silent



You can delete with registry files !!!!

Just to note that some of those switches are W9x-specific and (AFAIK)
cannot be used with regedit (4/5) on NTx platforms.
