How can I save a registry key(key, subkeys, and all values) and then save as
a reg file. The same way U would normally do a Reg export.

Do you mean the "Save key..." / "Restore..." functions in regedt32.exe?
Save as a binary file including permissions. This is distinctly
different that Export/Import functions. Read up and understand it in
advance. Full registry backups in advance.

Hopefully this is what you're after -
Use regedit.exe:
REGEDIT /E filename [regpath]
REGEDIT /E:A filename [regpath]
REGEDIT /A filename [regpath]
/E filename
Specifies the file to export the registry to.
/E:A and /A
Specifies ASCII output for W2k/WXP (default Unicode)

Dean -
When using the sample U provided I get no errors nor can i find any info
from within the command window about "regedit" and the switchs u are using.
Next i am still unable to "save the key as a reg file" and to a specified
"location". Is there no way to do this from a batch file and surpress
regedit32 from poping up when I run this batch file?
This is a sample of the bat I plan to have taskmanager run.

Use /S for silent, and also add quotes around the file path and
registry key path, like this:
REGEDIT.exe /S /E:A "c:\my files\tester1" "[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager]"

No brackets around the key. It won't work that way.
REGEDIT.exe /S /E:A "c:\my files\tester1" "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager"

@ Paul & Torgeir - everything is working perfectlly thanks.
Is there some where that I can find more info on commands not listed when
using help. The "regedit" like I meantioned before is not documented any
where and Im just wondering what other cmd prompts I dont know about.

How can I write multiple keys to one file and insert a breaker showing where
I started recording the next key.
EX. of output file format:
[KEY]
;---------------line break----------------------------
[next KEY] and so on

I'm afraid you can't do that directly. It is, however, relatively easy
to concatenate two exported files together. For example -
[Script]
:: Export first key
REGEDIT /S /E:A "%TEMP%\REG1.tmp"
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager"
:: Export 2nd key
REGEDIT.exe /S /E:A "%TEMP%\REG2.tmp"
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Clock"
:: Append break string and blank line to first exported key
echo --------- BREAK --------->>"%TEMP%\REG1.tmp"
echo/ >>"%TEMP%\REG1.tmp"
:: Concatenate the two exported keys
copy "%TEMP%\REG1.tmp"+"%TEMP%\REG2.tmp" C:\REGdone.DAT
:: Clean up the temporary files
del "%TEMP%\REG1.tmp" "%TEMP%\REG2.tmp"
[/Script]
Copy and paste the script above (excluding the two [Script] lines) into
a batch file and modify accordingly. Note, each of the REGEDIT lines
above will likely appear as two lines and should be recombined after the
paste.

Dean - Thx very much I am plzed at how it works.
Thx to all others who helped as well.
I am curious thought if it is possible to remove or prevent the " REGEDIT4"
from appearing after it has already been written to the final output file.
This would help save time if I ever need to restore these keys later on.

This is the only thing I know, but there's probably something in the
Resource Kit (I haven't looked):

Scroll down to the bottom of the page.

If you final file with all the REGEDIT4 statements is file1.reg, then:
@echo REGEDIT4>file2.reg
findstr /B /V "REGEDIT4" file1.reg>>file2.reg
