jose ramos Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 (edited) Hi everyone,I've been reading that registry commands are about the same for Vista and XP? However, I've been trying to add some commands to Vista registry by double clicking on a .reg file, and Vista refuses to accept it saying that such files can only be imported from inside regedit. When I try to import from inside it also refuses to add the changes. The .reg file has tweaks I used for Win XP, mainly the ones that add MSConfig, Regedit, Add/Remove Programs, Device Manager, and Control Panel to MyComputer right-click menu. Thanks in advance for whatever help you can give me.Regards to all,Jose Ramos Edited February 21, 2007 by jose ramos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
