Apply a reg change directly from WPI?

[BoardBabe]

Can it be done?

like reg add...

Or do I have to REGEDIT /S someregfile.reg?

Id like to apply

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\1.5.0_05]
"HideSystemTrayIcon"=dword:00000001

as Commandline2

[AlBundy33]

And where is the Problem?

If your Reg-file is under D:\Software\RegistryTweaks\regtweak.reg

use this commandline

REG IMPORT "D:\Software\RegistryTweaks\regtweak.reg"

Or use this command

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\1.5.0_05" /v  "HideSystemTrayIcon" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "1"

I was just looking for a confirm that the last method you posted works. Applying reg add ... directly from WPI (Command line) and not through a batch or .reg.

Since its only 1 reg key change, In my case it would be better to just run it directly from WPI config and not through a separate .reg or batch.

[AlBundy33]

It should work, of course.

Because the REG-command is just an executable under %WINDIR%\system32 (as far as I know just on WinXP - on Win2k it should be in the Resource kit)

You can just use reg before or after to run a reg file. Behind the scenes WPI will add REGEDIT /S for you.

Yes no more need for "regedit /s" just put the path and name of the reg file i.e. %cdrom%\install\myreg.reg. This has actually been part of WPI for awhile now.
