I have a program that I own two versions of and want to have access to either one. It is a registry setting that defines which version to launch when an associated file is double-clicked. Is there a tool that would allow me to write a batch file that would edit the specific registry key? This would keep me from having to edit the key manually everytime I want to switch back and forth. Thanks in advance.
 
You could export the two different versions of the key and then just import (double-click on) whichever you need before you run the program. Marc Creviere
 
You could write a vbscript to edit the registry, run the program, and change the registry back for one of the two programs.

It wouldn't be that difficult to write.

I think FilthPig's way is easier, but this is another option.
