batch file registry change
I need to create a batch file that makes a registry change. The reg change is this:
Locate and then select the following subkey in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
Type EnableDirectBooking, and then press ENTER.
Right-click EnableDirectBooking, and then click Modify.
In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.

The goal is to create a batch that techs can execute to make the reg change. Thxs
