how to make registry entries?

[Xevuhtess7]

does anyone know a guide on how to make registry entries that you double click to merge into the registry?

This was done on Win XP...

the file contains everything between the ##'S NOT including the ##'s

######################################
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor]
"CompletionChar"=dword:00000009
"DefaultColor"=dword:00000000
"EnableExtensions"=dword:00000001
######################################

edit:
Forgot to tell you name the file anything.reg

[Xevuhtess7]

[ImJustAKid]

[Xevuhtess7]

He is telling you exacly how to do it. open notepad and put everything in between the
######################################
in the notepad then save as anyname.reg
when you double click it it will make the registry change. All you have to do is use regedit to find the right variables to include. His is an example. Good luck:D

ooooh ok i understand now

all this will be put to good use cause im putting together a little service install zip for win98 for folding

[Xevuhtess7]

wait when i open up other registry entries it says just "REGEDIT" on the top line, not windows registry editor 5.00

is it a difference between different versions of windows?

I am not running win 98 right now. try it and see if it works:D

[Xevuhtess7]

argh i cant figure this out..... this is what i typed in, because other registry entries that work look this way:

REGEDIT
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices]
"AppParameters"="C:\Program Files\Folding\winFAH.exe"

i think the appparameters part is wrong... it seems to set the parameters for a program that needs to be defined by another registry entry. does anyone know what i should replace that with?

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

[Xevuhtess7]

im trying to make a simple way to install folding as a service for win98/me. there is a method that works that involves adding a key to the registry, but for some people who aren't handy with comps it may be intimidating and confusing so i'd rather have it be an external registry entry that they just double click to add, rather then actually having to dive into the registry and do it themselves.

Give this a try...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices]
"F@H"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Folding@Home\\winfah.exe\""

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...just do a copy/paste into notepad and save it with a *.reg extension. It's not formatted correctly in the forums here, but the first two lines starting with [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE... and ending with RunServices] should be one line.

Add the F@H String Name as described in the article you linked to | Right click and select "Modify" | Edit the Value to read...

"C:\Program Files\Folding@Home\winfah.exe"
