Remarks in .REG file possible?

[Guest]

I am creating a .REG file by hand and want to include in the file notes on
what each key/value does. Is it possible to have REMARKs in a .REG
(Registry) file? This is the same concept as the REM command in a DOS batch
file.

TIA,
roshan

Yes, to do this simply place a semicolon before the comment, see the example
below for details.


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; Below lists the run-on-startup objects for the current account

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"msnmsgr"="\"C:\\Program Files\\MSN Messenger\\msnmsgr.exe\" /background"



I hope this information is helpful, have a nice day!
