[tuts73]

Hi All just wondering if you can help - i need to update the registry and add some keys and dword values...this works as a .reg file to update the registry but i need it to work in a batch script

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Security]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Security\FileValidation]
"EnableOnLoad"=dword:00000000


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Security]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Security\FileValidation]
"EnableOnLoad"=dword:00000000

Thanks in advance

reg.exe can help you there.

You just have to add these

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Security\FileValidation]
"EnableOnLoad"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Security\FileValidation]
"EnableOnLoad"=dword:00000000

An alternative is to use the regfile you already have - you will need admin permissions probably

Code: Select all

@echo off
regedit /s "c:\folder\myreg.reg"
