Hello,

I would like to read and dynamically modify some keys in the registry.
I actually need to automatically modify the settings of Outlook Express user accounts.
(I need to change the logins of all the Outlook accounts present on the machine)

How can I read the registry from a batch program and modify it accordingly?

My program must first be compatible with Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Thank you for your help.
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

    With REG

    C:\>reg /?

    Windows Command Registry Tool - version 3.0
    Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp. 1981-2001. All rights reserved

    REG Operation [list_parameters]

    Operation [ QUERY | ADD | DELETE | COPY |
    SAVE | LOAD | UNLOAD | RESTORE |
    COMPARE | EXPORT | IMPORT ]

    Return code: (except for REG COMPARE)

    0 - Success
    1 - Failure

    To get help on a specific operation type:

    REG Operation /?

    Examples:

    REG QUERY /?
    REG ADD /?
    REG DELETE /?
    REG COPY /?
    REG SAVE /?
    REG RESTORE /?
    REG LOAD /?
    REG UNLOAD /?
    REG COMPARE /?
    REG EXPORT /?
    REG IMPORT /?

    or create a .reg text file and use regedit

      Thank you, but it's not simple.

      In the end, I'm going to turn to vbscript. I'm going to open a new post.

      Hello, I don’t know if this is the right place to post this, but I would like to disable the automatic detection of USB hard drives, only on startup. For that, I know I need to modify the registry at this level:

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ UsbStor
      4 Disable AND 3 Enable

      And if I understood correctly, with the modification above, I would have to reboot. However, I would like to have a program, or simply by clicking on it, it starts the detection of USB drives when I need to use them (to speed up the PC startup)

      Is that possible? If anyone has information on this, or a link, it would be really nice to share. Thank you in advance.

    Hi, I suppose you don't want your computer to boot with the USB stick inserted as the boot disk

    to prevent this, disable USB booting in your BIOS
