Batch Script Registry

The registry is one of the key elements of a Windows system. It contains a lot of information about various aspects of the operating system. Almost all applications installed on a Windows system interact with the registry.

The Registry contains two basic elements: keys and values. Registry keys are container objects similar to folders. Registry values are non-container objects similar to files. Keys can contain values or other keys. Keys are referenced with a syntax similar to that of Windows path names, using backslashes to indicate hierarchical levels.

Several types of registry operations can be performed:

• Reading from the Registry (via the REG QUERY command)
• Adding to the Registry (via the REG ADD command)
• Deleting from the Registry (via the REG DEL command)
• Copying Registry Keys (via the REG COPY command)
• Comparing Registry Keys (via the REG COMPARE command)
