As title - i need to do a mass registry change to change a software setting across our LAN - I have built a very simple batch file to run the .reg file from a share, but I really would like to suppress the 'Do you want to install this file to the registry' prompt, and the later 'blah.reg successfully installed into the registry' prompt.

I thought the /y option might have done it but to no avail......

Any ideas?

sample batch line:-

\\dc2\cabatch\caexpres.reg /y

I realise the /y works on say a COPY command as it is a proper switch for the copy.exe program.......but obviously i'm not really running a proper command - is there a way to invoke regedit and do it that way?

You could try this:

\\dc2\cabatch\caexpres.reg <y

or create a y.txt file put a y in the file and do this:

\\dc2\cabatch\caexpres.reg <y.txt

REGEDIT /S \\dc2\cabatch\caexpres.reg

Thanks HankScorpio that worked a treat - I thought you could do it with REGEDIT - i even did a regedit /? to find the switches but is just opened regedit directly

Thanks again
