You can use regedit to silently import registry settings. This can be useful to setup defaults for applications, or apply registry tweaks for various Windows settings.

 <package
     id="sample_registry"
     name="Shows a registry entry"
     revision="1"
     priority="0"
     execute="once">
   <check type="registry" condition="equals" path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Test" value="1" />
   <install cmd='regedit /s "%SOFTWARE%\test_registry.reg"' />
 </package>

And the sample file:

test_registry.reg:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Test]
"Test Setting"=dword:00000001
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TEST2]

(In Win2k/XP adding "-" in front of a key name causes that key to be deleted from the registry.)

Normally, you would export this from regedit.exe.
