Difference between regedit32 and reg import?

[Denney]

I'm just curious if anyone knows of the advantages/disadvantages of the two commands:

REGEDIT32 /S "SomeFile"

REG IMPORT "SomeFile"

Anything?

It's the same.

REG is the win32 console application allow more than IMPORT function, you can edit directly values of your regkey.

Regedit32 is the win32 gui editor which accepts .reg on the command line, that's all.

edit: There is an advantage to use "regedit /s Regfile.reg" : Compatibility with older Windows.

Ah ok. Thx Sonic.

I only use my scripts on XP so the compatibility thing isn't an issue.

So basically, the only difference is one is command line based registry editor and the other is a GUI based registry editor.

Seems simple enough.
