RegToPB - convert Registry (.reg) to PB source

[eJan]

RegToPB is a small tool for converting Registry exports (.reg) into PB source. It uses Droopy Registry functions to write PB source back to Registry, drag'n'drop supported. When compiled 'Include\_Droopy Registry.pbi' is extracted into (.reg) folder, it can be instantly used/compiled.
I have made a lot of tests using UltraCompare Professional 6.0, latest test was comparing complete
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" without errors.
Suggestions, corrections are welcome.

It can be set in one of two branches, either in HKCU or HKLM.

For use in HKCU its supposed to be:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\]

leave the Explorer part off.

For use in HKLM its supposed to be:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]

where you use the Explorer part in HKLM but not in the HKCU branch.

So your registry entries should look like this:

Code: Select all

For use in HKLM:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] 

; some comment here 
"NoWindowsUpdate"=dword:00000001


or if you want to use it in HKCU your registry entry would look like this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\] 

; some comment here 
"NoWindowsUpdate"=dword:00000001

If you use it in HKLM it applies to the whole computer. If you use it in HKCU it applies to the currently logged on user. Use one or the other, not both.
