Saving Key

J

How can I save a regisry key and make it an executable
when restoring?

I want to save the:
LocalMachine/system/currentcontrolset/services/browser
/parameters/maintainserverlist=No

and make it something that a tech at another branch can
click on and have it install without having to open the
registry on each workstation (approx 50 each).

Thanks,

Jake

You could Export the key (regedit.exe) to a .REG file. Then edit out
all but the header line, KeyPath line and the "maintainserverlist"
line.

Portable. Requires Administrator permissions to "merge" the file.
Could be wrapped in a batch file.
...
regedit.exe /s <FullyQualifiedPath>\serverlistNO.REG

Try it.

Other methods include using REG.EXE (MS downloadable Support tool).
Many Windows scripting languages offer registry interfaces.
