General .reg file layout question.

**BoardBabe** · February 4, 2006

Can a .reg file contain line breaks between values under a key (as shown below) or do the values need to be listed directly below each other?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Something]

; Setting 1
"Value1"=dword:00000001

; Setting 2
"Value2"=dword:00000000

Yes, no problem!

In fact since that key doesn't exist, add the REGEDIT4 header to the top and an empty line at the bottom and try it!

Yzöwl: Thank you, good idea, should've tested... Now I got some cleanup to do in my regfile!

believe it or not there are several times when REGEDIT4 will not work

for those with Xp use this Instead at the Top

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Of course I venture where no one else does or rather talks of it

maybe I'm the only one survived

I dont believe it.

Would you be able to post an example?

The "REGEDIT4" header also works on Windows 2000-based, Windows XP-based, and Windows Server 2003-based computers.
