Solve : get into the regitery from ms-dos?

Answer»

how do i get into the registery from ms-dos?
if u dont understand : hold START + R > write regedit, and enter.... that regedit, is it possible to get in there via ms-dos?


thnx......if you have XP, you can use regdmp.If you mean standalone MS-DOS, writing to the registry is only with special tools possible.
I don`t think that regedit is availaible for MS-DOS.
Maybe a 3rd party tool exists.

ulihmmm.. don't know what you meant in your previous post.. but you can access the registry through the command line using the reg tool.. just type in reg /? for the options.. and uhm.. i think this is only available in XP.. and 2k? not sure..

anyways, why would you wanna access the registry using dos when you can access it in windows? :-?Quote

He meant there is no DOS involved. Win2000 and XP have command prompt which is NOT DOS.i need to get into the regedit and delete a file from MS-DOS, im not able to go into it from the other place...


EDIT : its via windows XP Start/Programs/Accessories/Command Prompt? Could it be that easy?ehrm, yes, then u open your cmd but i need to get into regedit from there REGEDIT is a Windows program and will run in Windows whether you launch it from the Run box or the command prompt.

REG runs as console program (no Windows) and uses run-time parameters (user supplied) in batch mode. Usually used in batch files. Scripts use ANOTHER METHOD to access the registry.

Please explain this more. 8-)

I googled a little bit and found a tool called "Erunt".
It can SAVE all registry hives from Windows (NT/W2k/XP)
and also play it back from M$-Dos.

That might be a possible solution. Not elegant to write the complete registry but...
I didn't check it myself.

hope it helps
