  2. Bypass UAC prompt when importing Registry keys

    Hi All,

    I am trying to import a number of registry keys silently to HKCU hive using the following command line:

    Regedit .exe /s "<path to the registry_key\regkey.reg"

    I am getting the following UAC prompt which I am trying to by-pass:

    any suggestions to import the registry keys silently?

    Any way to edit the registry without loading Windows?

    You will need to find a way to grant yourself permissions for full control of that hive/key.
    Just as the "Trusted Installer" has.
    You may have to log on as admin to do this.

    Grant Read Write (Full Control) Permissions on Registry Keys (Fix Cannot Import and Access Denied Error in RegEdit)
    How to change Registry Permissions with RegIni.exe (VBScript)

    And, a search to start you on your quest.

    I did it a long time ago, to get rid of & edit some hives, keys, etc.
    Goodluck.*Smile Cannot import registry key into regedit :)

    Cannot import registry key into regedit

    Import or merge registry key not working


    Hi, here is my problem.

    I exported a key (ieshims) to document folder. I made corrections using Notepad++ to some paths and saved it. I imported the key back and everything went fine.

    The problem is that when I go back to look at my corrections in the registry, nothing is updated. The old key is shown.

    The reason I exported/imported the key is that regedit doesn't allow me to make correction of a path on the left side of the key i.e. paths.

    Would anyone tell me what could be my problem?
