registry editing

[butchrecon]

Can anyone tell me how to edit the registry of Windows 95 through a DOS prompt? I need to reinstall Win95 and need the OEM # and I cant boot into windows.

Can you boot in safe mode?

Nope. No safe mode. Only a command prompt. I would just like to format and reinstall, but i need to get the oem number out of the registry. Any Idea how to edit the registry in DOS? Any suggestions would help.

here is a trick to get the oem number open edit or qbasic go to the windows folder open suer.dat or system.dat its in one of them and it will look messed up but that ok the ome number is in clear text serach for "-oem-" it will come up.
