Automate Reg Tweak

[Mike Stannard]

Using Notepad i can automate some registry tweaks using, for example,
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\MemoryManagement]
"DisablePagingExecutive"=dword:00000001
This works fine when changing a dword value, but what would i write when
changing a string value, for example.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"MenuShowDelay"
I want to change this value to 0
Thanks for any help.

Here's the MenuShowDelay registry key exported from my registry as a REG
file.

<copy>
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"MenuShowDelay"="125"

</copy>

You'll see it's already tweaked (by TweakUI) and it also gives you the
structure of the REG file to create for your own tweak.
