.Reg file containing string value(s)

[CLAWS]

Hi Guys,

To cut a long story short, I have created a .reg file which I would like to add to a logonscript so that it runs on my users PC's automatically.

The content of the .reg file is as follows (I have starred out any company specific information) -

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSCRMClient]
"AllowedAppointmentClasses"="*****.*****.*****"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSCRMClient]
"AllowedEmailClasses"="*****.*****.*****"

To test the .reg file, I removed the string values from the registry of the PC (Win 7 64bit) that the .reg file was created on. I then ran the .reg file. It appeared to run fine without any errors. I checked the registry to see if the string values had returned after the .reg file was run but there were not present. I did search for the string values which returned nothing.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

have you started the reg file with

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
?

Simplest way to do it..

Find a machine with the string on already, right click the key, export.

Now edit the key in Notepad to remove any other values that you don't want..

save it as whatever.reg


then in a bat file..

regedit /S whatever.reg

Fixed it. I am a complete tool!

As per LizardKings post I missed out the top line. I entered REGEDIT4, saved and ran - bam it worked!

Thanks guys
