creating a registry file 1

[torturedmind]

i want to create a registry file (say myentry.reg) of the following registry value, how should i do it?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CustomEntry\BypassSaveAs 
(0 = show Save as dialog box after spooling, 1 = do not show Save as dialog box.) 
 
Note: the values above are of type string (REG_SZ), not DWORD.

should my myentry.reg be containing the following:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CustomEntry\BypassSaveAs]
@="1"

or it should contain this one:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CustomEntry]
"BypassSaveAs"="1"

thanks for the help you'll all extend. peace!

In your 2nd example -
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CustomEntry\BypassSaveAs]
@="1"
@ means the Default value will be set to 1
=======================================

In your 3rd example -
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CustomEntry]
"BypassSaveAs"="1"
This is just another entry, which could be one of many
======================================

Look down
------------------------start cut here--------------------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CustomEntry]
"BypassSaveAs"="1"

----------------------------end cut here--------------
^^^^^^^
Remember to add a carraige return (hit Enter after "1") -- at the end of the file as shown above arrows. You can see this easily bt viewing an exported Reg file

you're quite welcome ..
just to follow up a bit more --
------------------
In your 2nd example -
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CustomEntry\BypassSaveAs]
@="1"
@ means the Default value will be set to 1 And a folder (RegKey) will be created in the left pane called BypassSaveAs - and the rgiht pane will have only Default=1
==============
whereas;
In your 3rd example -
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CustomEntry]
"BypassSaveAs"="1"
This is just another entry, which could be one of many but no RegKey called BypassSaveAs will be created (which doesn't seem it would need to be using this kind of entry - similar to any Dword or Binary entry from TweakUI - such as "NoSaveSettings"="dword:00000001").
