I would like to export/import a couple string values into an existing
Key. Is this possible. So far, all I've been able to do is
import/export registry keys.

Thanks,
Blair

Hi

With regedit.exe you can only export keys (including all the values
that belong to the key and any subkeys that might exist).

For import, regedit.exe have no problem just importing a value (but
it will of course create the key that the value belongs to if the
key does not exist from before).

More about regedit.exe's possibilities here:

With Reg.exe (comes builtin with WinXP, at least Pro), you can make
a query for a value only, example:

Reg.exe QUERY HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ResKit /v Version
Displays the value of the registry value Version
