How do I create string Registry value from text file code 1

[SBendBuckeye]

I found some code similar to the following to create a registry entry from a .reg text file. But there was no example for creating a string value. Can anyone help me out?

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MyAppName\MyKeyName\]
"Media Request Timeout Seconds"=dword:30

Thanks!



Have a great day!

Just use Regedit to export an existing string value to a .reg file, open it in Notepad and follow its format.

For the benefit of others, after I took Paul's advice, here is an example. Note the doubled backslashes.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MyAppName\MyKeyName\]
"Media Request Timeout Seconds"=dword:30
"TempDir"="c:\\windows\\TEMP\\"

Thanks again Paul!
