Windows 10: New .reg file but not blank

Hey guys!

It is a part of script after clean install to add bat,ps1,reg,vbs to new context menu
REG ADD "HKCR\.ps1\ShellNew" /v "NullFile" /t REG_SZ /d "" /f
REG ADD "HKCR\.reg\ShellNew" /v "NullFile" /t REG_SZ /d "" /f
REG ADD "HKCR\.bat\ShellNew" /v "NullFile" /t REG_SZ /d "" /f
REG ADD "HKCR\.vbs\ShellNew" /v "NullFile" /t REG_SZ /d "" /f

I want this this line and a blank line, when i create a new reg file. What i need to add to the script?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

:)

 

Adapting .REG Files.

Thanks KeithM for the suggestions.

I will have a go at that later!

I assume that I can add the completed working menu to ALL 7 sections that you have listed to make it available wherever I am in the OS, is that correct please?

Thanks in advance.

 

How can I create a new .reg file from the CLI

I'd like to create a new .reg file and add it to the registry, as suggested in this article.

It's pretty simple. But I want to script it. I thought I could just use REG ADD, but I'm not sure how to incorporate the @="@SYSoesNotExist" part at the end.

 

Import reg file in a batch file

I suggest that, as a first step, you edit the batch file so it captures the errorlevel after the reg import command.

- Something simple such asecho The reg import command result is - %ErrorLevel% will do as long as long as you put it in as the line straight after the reg import command and then put aPause command in as the next line [before restarting explorer] so you can have a look.

- Checking the errorlevel will tell you whether reg import thinks it has completed correctly or not.
- While you are checking the errorlevel you could also go to the Registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search] to see what has happened to it [make sure you Refresh the view if you were already at that key beforehand]



I have never used reg import but I know there are optional arguments for 32/64 bit items so perhaps you might investigate them
- enter reg import /? >RegImport.txt in a command prompt to save the Help guidance that mentions these switches.
- I do not think these switches are relevant but I have never investigated their use properly.
- For all I know, the problem might be as simple as reg import not being able to handle the comment lines, such as ; Cartella utente, properly

Best of luck,
