What should the header line be in the .reg file for import with total commander/sk-tools...etc?
"REGEDIT 4" or "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00"
when I exported using CEREGEDIT the header = "REGEDIT 4" and when I used total commander on my PPC I selected the key "copy to clipboard" and pasted in a directory on my SD card when I open the file with notepad on my PC the header in that .reg file is "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" So now I am confused... or will either one work?
I just am trying to make a .reg file I can merge after a fresh install so that I don't have to manually input owner info, and some misc. control panel settings.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can shed some light!
I'd use REGEDIT4 no space.
I created a reg file using task manager when I had Meschle's Touct 3.1 ROM installed because I needed to run a registry hack every morning to correct a registry setting change my Exchange server was forcing on me.
I've since moved to Meschles Vanilla 2.1 ROM, but there's no application associated with the REG files so my registry file won't load any more when I click on the file.
I've loaded both HTC and fpb Task Managers bu tthey don't associate the ".reg" file suffix.
I've installed Regedit, which associates the .reg files, but tha tjust opens the files for editing rather than running and loading the registry changes.
Can anyone advise what I need to do so that I can easily "load" my registry change ".reg" file again?
Thanks,
Graham
Hi there,
I use Resco Explorer with the built-in registry editor. It will solve your two problems in one: RE will let you 'associate' files so they open with an app of your choice, and the registry editor will let you import/export keys.
You could even put a shortcut to this .reg file in your startup folder so that after a soft-reset it would be imported again!
Hope this helps.
what registry keys i need or what xml file i can edit to associate file with progams from my kitchen? i can made WinRAR default for RAR, ZIP, i alredy edit the reg key that was containing the HTC Zip, regards
I'm trying to convert a mobile registry file to a CAB file. CERegEditor has a feature that does this; however, when I then install the CAB file with the registry tweaks to my Touch HD, any registry tweak with a file path has double backslashes instead of just one backslash in the path.
For example, if I have a REG file with a request to change the file path of a particular key to:
"FileSyncPath"="\Storage Card\My Documents"
Instead, though, when I convert it to a CAB file in CERegEditor, and install it on my phone, I get the following line in the registry:
"FileSyncPath"="\\Storage Card\\My Documents"
As you can see, there are double backslashes.
Any ideas on how to correct this?
Thank you,
Peter
hey guys, after miri's recent v19 rom release, i've got to the point where manually reinstalling stuff is getting more of a chore than a pleasure, so i've been playing around with sdconfig.txt and self-built .cab files...
however, there are some things i cant configure due to them being in the registry.
so far this is what ive done:
- used 'CeRegEditor' to capture the active registry (both stock rom, and fully configured the way i want it to be)
- compared the 2 files, and saved the output to another file
- copied this file (i've tried both .cereg, and .reg formats) to sd card, and attempted to run. when executed from my HD, the file format is unrecognised and will not import the registry values.
so, what have i missed? why wont a .cereg or .reg file 'install' on my HD?
the idea is to have this registry file in the sdconfig.txt (or a cab, and exec'd from sdconfig.txt), so on hard reset it is a completely 'hands-off' re-install.
Create a Cab file. You can create Cab files that only install registry settings. Take the '2_Way_Plus_InCall_Recording' cab file and build upon that maybe. Edit the '_Setup.xml' to include your registry settings and then you can install them just as you would install a Cab file.
How many registry setting do you want to change?
.reg file is 260 line file - 25kb.
while there seems to be a limit on what the registry is holding, it is configuring some of the more simplier and silly things...
- Device name
- Owner info
- Manila Weather
- power settings
- 'changescreen' app settings (app found on these forums)
- 'HD tweak' app settings (again, found on these forums)
at this point in time, it's more of a proof of concept, rather than finalized version. now i know how to get things working, i can fine tune the reg settings and provision my phone.
it seems 'ceregedit' does not correctly convert reg > XML (or reg > CAB).
however, i found another tool called 'SDConfigGen', which does correctly convert reg > XML. i've been able to use the XML in my sdconfig.txt, which is what i wanted!
while the above reg keys work, it's not an exact build of how i had my phone before...
there are some things i would like to automatically configure:
- pre-configured Wifi profiles (theres maybe 4 AP's i use)
- automatically set 'touchflo 3d' as the default theme.
- a complete hands-off install. (things like pre-setup the HTC auto-configure "sim card change")
- automatically accept a security certificate from our activesync server (i have activesync config in a .cab file, but it requires you to manually click 'yes' to the security cert install box)
im sure a google will help with a few points above!
Ok I'm not sure if you program at all or if this would really easy your pain much but you can download a trial version of Visual Studio 2008. It has a project option to build cab files for ppc devices. Might be worth a look if you have a lot of keys to do. Its not much better than doing them by hand though. I've included a screen shot of VS doing it so you can see. BTW its obviously been scrunched up.
Try this

I used this to do what your trying to do, it will not import .reg files on the trial version but theres an older version on piratebay that will:
