=Utilities that can only edit entries===RegEdit== NB: When used via the command line Regedit cannot change registry access permissions. When used interactively a user can alter permissions.
Windows has a registry editing program called RegEdit which can be used interactively or it can be scripted. This can be useful to setup defaults for applications, or apply [http://www.winguides.com/registry/ registry tweaks for various Windows settings].
NB: When used via the command line Regedit cannot change registry access permissions.exe comes with Windows (located at: %SystemRoot%\regedit.exe) so does not need to be installed on a PC by hand or stored in a shared folder.
To run RegEdit interactively, run the program <code>regedit.exe</code>.
You can create ready-made .reg files by exporting registry keys from within RegEdit.
==Reg==
Alternatively, included with Windows 2000 Resource Kit, or with Windows XP itself, there is a command line registry editor, reg.exe, that can be used more directly from the command-line. For example:
<code><pre>REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Test /v "Test Setting" /d "1" /t REG_DWORD</pre></code>
