Using BatchRun to apply tweaks???

[JawZ]

When working on clients computers....I always find myself applying the same tweaks. It takes alot of time. I was wondering if it were possible to safely apply registry tweaks via a batch file. Using BatchRun and I really wanted to experiment with this to see if it is possible.

Any thoughts on this?

TIA

You might try using X-Setup and using it's record feature.

DOH! Forgot about that feature....CRAP!!!!

I hate when that happens.

How has that worked for you and is it exportable?

You can do the regestry tweaks as a .reg file. It can be made and edited with Notepad then saved with the .reg extension.

It will be a very small file that can be exportable. Below is an example of a .reg file "domains.reg". It imports domain names into an IE6 Security Zone for XP:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains]
@=""

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\000freexxx.com]
"*"=dword:00000004

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\0190-dialer.com]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\01sexe.com]

To be honest UOD it's one of those things I keep saying I'm going to use but haven't yet. I'll try it this week and let you know.
