Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\abc]
"def"="1"
When I double click a .reg file it's imported into the correct path, not into the Wow6432Node subnode...

You need to test it with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, because HKEY_CURRENT_USER doesn't have Wow6432Node subnode.

EDIT: Actually it has, but HKEY_CURRENT_USER won't ever go there.

What? Something goes either into Wow6432Node or not, regardless if it's current_user or local_machine^^

But hey, here is a test with local_machine...

Note: This is a 64-bit command prompt, not! started via XYplorer

I don't get it. Do you have WOW64DisableRedirection=1 in your ini?

Nope, it works the same even in a fresh instance here...

I'm on Windows 7, you are on 10, so maybe it has something to do with that.

Solved with regedt32.exe, which is in the System32 folder:

Code: Select all

reg>"%SystemRoot%\System32\regedt32.exe"
