User input in registry file

Use a batch file instead of a registry file, for example like this:

@echo off
set /p Port=Please enter the port number: COM
if "%Port%"=="" goto :eof
reg.exe add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MyCorporation\MySoftware" /v "Port" /t REG_SZ /d "COM%Port%"

Select all Open in new window

That could of course be as well changed to a menu, and/or restricted to certain values.

Ok, so you're saying put everything into a batch file and let the reg.exe add take care of it?

I was also using the .reg file to add other items & remove items, how would I implement that into the batch file along with what you have given me?

Ex:

//Modify reg value
;[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters]
;"maximumpasswordage"=dword:00000078

//Delete reg Value

;[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
;"OSK.exe"=-

Thanks

Excellent, thank you!
