Registry Update

[Jeff]

I have to update the registry on several computers. I only have one value
to change and I've seen other people that create a file, which when it is
clicked on, it updates the registry. Can someone tell me how to create the
file that will do the update for me?

The value I want to update is HKEY_USERS\DEFAULT\Control
Panel\colors\Background. I want this key's value to be 255 255 255.

Start regedit.exe, navigate to the key in question, then from the registry
editor menu File|Export, name the file. Then open the file with notepad.exe
and remove the lines for all values under the key with the exception of the
one value you wish to update on the other machines. (note that there is a
dot preceding DEFAULT)

So your .reg file would look like
----------------Begin File------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Colors]
"Background"="255 255 255"

----------------End File-------------

Also;
regedit /s <filename.reg>
to silently import.
