I was wondering if it is possible to edit the registry from dos (automated)... Because I'm interested in making a batch file that cleans out any registry-stored passwords on bootup...

Thanks.

reg.exe can be used:

Be careful with this program. It has no safeguards to keep you from making fatal changes to your registry.

You dont have to use reg.exe...

There are already commands in the dos prompt that can edit the registry. type "reg" in and it will list them off. Then you can type reg "(command) /?" to get more info about it.
