Hey, say I had a file called "entries.reg"... Is there a way, in C++ in Windows XP, to write this file to the Windows registry? "entries.reg" contains values for a program I'm working on

There are better ways of writing to the registry than a .reg file but if thats what you want.
system("reg import entries.reg")
that should work.

Also, for those reading, I discovered that the file stdlib.h has to be included for this to work.. I'm new to C++ ;)
