Hey

I am just wondering on how to make my own reg files to enter into the registry, which would save me the trouble of entering values myself. I know how to save a file as a reg file but don't know how to put the values into the file, so afterwards when i double click and enter information into the registry, it will all work fine. Will someone plz be able to explain how to do this, maybe provide some examples. Here are some examples of wat i want to do, if someone can plz provide on how to do them as a reg file, i can work it out from there. Basically when i reinstall windows sometimes, crashes of fixin up etc, this will save me a lot of time as doing them manually 1 at a time is very time consuming.

First 2 is just entering info!
Turn off CD Autoplay
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom]
Autorun=0
Turn off built-in XP CD Burning
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
NoCDBurning=1

Also how would i do this 1? as this is deleting a key!
Remove Shared Documents from My Computer
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\DelegateFolders]
Delete the {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}

Also as you can see, these r just basic tweaks, all i want them for. ANyway plz help if u can spare the time and thanx in advance!

I use this to re-register Nero when I reinstall it.

****************register.reg*****************

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\Info]
@=""
"User"="user"
"Company"="home"
"Serial5"="1504-0891-xxxx-4494-3122-6024"
"HaveReadSNFromFile"=dword:00000000

****************************************

The first line creates the (default) key...I think. The rest make REG_SZ types with values as shown. And the dword one makes REG_DWORD type with value 0x00000000 (0). And the asterisks are to be excluded, of course. Hope this helps some. dark.
