Why use a batch file? Just create the registry key and have done with it.
Copy the following into Notepad all on one line. Make the necessary alterations and save it with a .reg extension. Run Windows Explorer. Double click on the file and it will be entered into the registry.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "Your Prog"="Full path and filename to your prog"

cheers for that,
but the reason i need it to be within a .bat file is because i want to create a registry that will run that file on start up, and i can only have 1 "executable" file to include everything.
is this possible??

I'm not sure of what you mean. If you are trying to run many files at startup, just put multiple entries in the registry.
