September 3, 200719 yr I'm looking for a shell to uninstall .reg-files when I right click on them in explorer? Is it possible?
September 3, 200719 yr No, not possible without something 3rd party that tracks what the .reg file adds, subtracts, or changes. A .reg file is just a text file that regedit.exe or reg.exe parses and then uses to modify the registry.

I'm new to make my own .reg-files and I read somewhere that if you put a (-) before the [changes] you uinstall it... Like this:[b]Example.reg[/b]REGEDIT4INSTALL; WHAT IS DOES[Changes]UNINSTALL; WHAT IS DOES[-Changes]So my thought was if use only .reg files with the install info, and no extra code, then I have a explorer shell thats inserts a "-" after every "[" then it would be solved. I want this because then I can easy test new .reg-files (and make my own) and if I don't like it I can switch back fast.
September 3, 200719 yr Is far from bullet-proof. Let's imagine your .reg file adds a key somewhere, but the key already exists. What should the uninstall section do? Or more subtle, it changes a dword value. To change it back you should have stored the old data somewhere.
