Hello everyone, im new here!
now, ive got a .reg file that id like to import automatically via .bat file to the registry.
if i type the code myself in CMD it does work, but the same code via the .bat file refuses to add and
get the error of: error accessing the registry
im using the code : reg import *****.reg
does anybody knows what seems to be the problem?
thanks!
Welcome to the Seven Forums.
The batch file will need to be run with elevated privileges.
Elevated Command Prompt
thank you!
i had thought of that and it still isnt working. nevertheless, the .bat file is meant to start automatically as a part of startup program
is there any other idea?
thank you for trying though!
I don't know of a way to do that.
Having an executable (the batch file) automatically elevate its privileges (without user interaction) seems to be something that a virus would like to do - so, I think that the W7 operating system security model prevents that from happening.
You cannot make a command prompt auto elevate itself (that would be bad for many reasons), but you can make it prompt/ask for it, which is a one click yes on the yes button for UAC.
(If you are an admin, otherwise standard users would be prompted for admin credentials.)
See this code attached and add it to the beginning of the batch file.
However, if you run the bat file through group policy at login script or by way of the task scheduler at login, you could bypass UAC and run it regardless of the users settings being admin or standard user.
not on every startup. i would like to have it run when i choose to by starting another program that also execute the batch file and add something to the registry.
its of no concern though, even when im trying to REG ADD through the .bat it gives me an error
thank you for trying to help!
i have downloaded the txt and added it to the batch file and its still gives me the accessing registry error.
whats that about the group policy?
btw, i am the admin of this machine.
i have tried to make it cumbersome a little bit, thinking it would bypass the problem by using the command "start" and then having to click Yes in order for it to be added to the registry, but it still gives me the same error unfortunately

Something like this could be used to get around tracking the trial period for software.
We will need details...
What program are you talking about?
What info needs to be changed in the registry?
Does the info need to be changed before the program starts?
...before we can continue to help.
well, there is a way to enter safemode within msconfig and so id like to be able to run
a batch file after marking the V, that will disable that option from within the registry right after
i get into the safemode.
theres no info needs to be changed, only added
if any more information is needed, please ask
i didnt explain it before because it sounds a bit complicated, but still after everything i have tried the
problem remains when i try to add or import.
My guess is that you are seeing ERROR: Error accessing the registry because your account does not have permissions to change that part of the registry. What registry key are you working under?
