Registry Toolkit Merge

Thank you your interest in Registry Toolkit Merge shareware!
Registry Toolkit Merge is a companion program to our Registry
Toolkit utility. Registry Toolkit is a multipurpose tool to edit
and perform search &/or replaces in the Windows 95/98/ME
NT/2000/XP & Windows 2003 registry.
Registry Toolkit Merge is command line utility that imports .reg
files into the Windows registry. While .reg file import can also
be accomplished with Registry Toolkit (and other tools), Registry
Toolkit Merge is unique because it can be used to create self-
contained, self-importing .exe's. When the .exe you construct is
launched the .reg information is imported (after confirmation).
Users of the registered version have the option to disable
confirmations by running the program with the /s (or /S) switch.
See below for more information.
Also unique to Registry Toolkit Merge (and Registry Toolkit) are
special .reg file functions to: a) Delete keys (and
keys/values/data under them); b) Copy keys (and keys/values/data
under them); c) Rename keys; d) Copy specific values from one key
to another. Performing these operations via a .reg file is not
easily accomplished using other registry edit tools.
Five example .reg files are included in Registry Toolkit Merge
distribution. Please back up your Windows registry and examine the
.reg files with your text editor before you experiment!
Important: Do not attempt to merge these examples with another
registry editor. Use only Registry Toolkit Merge or Registry
Toolkit. 'Example_CreateTest.reg' is a standard .reg but the
others use specialized functions.
Example_CreateTest.reg:
-----------------------
When merged into the registry this .reg creates some values & data
under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Test\command. The keys will be
created if they do not already exist. If the values specified in
the .reg already exist their data will be replaced.
Example_DeleteTest.reg:
-----------------------
This .reg can only be merged with Registry Toolkit Merge or
Registry Toolkit. The action will be to delete
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Test\command and all
subkeys/values/data under that key.
Example_CopyKey.reg:
-----------------------
This .reg can only be merged with Registry Toolkit Merge or
Registry Toolkit. The action copies
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Test\command (and all keys/values/data
underneath) to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Test2\command3
Example_RenameKey.reg:
-----------------------
This .reg can only be merged with Registry Toolkit Merge or
Registry Toolkit. The action renames
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Test\command to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Test2\command3
Example_CopyValue.reg:
-----------------------
This .reg can only be merged with Registry Toolkit Merge or
Registry Toolkit. The action of this example is to copy the value
(and data) 'Install Path' that is present under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Test\Command\ to a value named
'InstallPath 2' under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Test2\Command2.
Example_Complex.reg:
-----------------------
This .reg can only be merged with Registry Toolkit Merge or
Registry Toolkit. This .reg demonstrates how to include a
combination of operations in a single .reg. Please examine this
with your text editor before you apply it.
Registry Toolkit Merge Usage
----------------------------
There are three forms of usage:
1. Apply a .reg file you specify on the command line. For example,
RTMerge.exe test.reg
The above will merge the contents of 'test.reg' into the
registry. NO advance confirmations are provided with this usage.
2. The RTMerge.exe executable can be used as a "stub" file that
will apply a .reg via a self-contained .exe.
To use the program in this form you must first create a new .exe
consisting of the concatenation of RTMerge.exe and the .reg to
apply. We suggest you use the 'Concatenate' function of our
Directory Toolkit or Explorer Extensions programs to create the
new .exe.
The steps are similar for both programs. For example purposes we
will create an .exe to apply test.reg.
a. Highlight RTMerge.exe and test.reg in the Concatenate dialog.
b. Arrange the file list with the Move/Up or Move/Down buttons so
RTMerge.exe is the list. RTMerge.exe MUST BE FIRST.
c. Supply the name of a Target file that has an .exe extension.
DO NOT use RTMerge.exe for a target name. The name you use
must be unique. Consider a descriptive name, e.g.,
MergeTestreg.exe
d. Click the OK button.
To use 'MergeTestreg.exe' and apply the contents of test.reg
issue one of the following:
MergeTestreg.exe
The above provides a confirmation dialog. is presented which
give the user the opportunity to cancel if they like.
MergeTestreg.exe /s
or
MergeTestreg.exe /S
The above runs the program 'sliently'. No confirmation is
presented. The program exits automatically.
NOTE: The /s or /S feature is only available in the registered
version.
3. As in #2 above but add /s or /S to the command line to run the
applicator 'silently'. The user will see no confirm
How to create & use .reg files that delete keys
-----------------------------------------------
These .reg files require a special format that is understood only by
RTMerge.exe and our Registry Toolkit utility. An example is:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Test\command]
"RT_Rename_Key"=
When applied by Registry Toolkit or Registry Toolkit Merge,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Test\command and all keys/values under
this key will be deleted.
Delete actions can be combined with other actions in the same .reg
file.
Registry Toolkit can simplify creating these special .reg files.
How to create & use .reg files to copy keys
-------------------------------------------
As with the above 'delete' operation, copy operation .reg files
are understood only by RTMerge.exe and Registry Toolkit. An
example is:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Test\command]
"RT_Copy_Key"="HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Command3
When applied, the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Test\command
and all keys/values under this key will copied to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Command3.
If HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Command3 does not exist it will be
created.
'Copy' operations can be combined with other actions in the same .reg
file.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to apply these .reg files via the
Windows Explorer .reg 'Merge' function. You must use Registry
Toolkit Merge or Registry Toolkit.
We suggest you see the Registry Toolkit F1 online help for more
information.
