Are you trying to change your home page?
If so go to Tools>Internet options and change it there. |

Well, what do you need to do and how do you mean change from the command line?
You can paste the following in notepad and save it as ChangeHome.reg. Then you can double click on it to make the change or invoke it from the command line. ================== REGEDIT4 ;; Change the IE home page. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "Start Page"="http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=ie&pver=5.5&ar=msnhome" ================== Does that help? The Old Man |

Thats good, thats one way arround it
What i was tring to do was to just be able to open the command line and type whats needed to change the start page. This start page is just an example im using Im wondering if the registery can be appended to in general by the command line (not by executing a .reg file) Dont get me wrong that .reg way would work fine but im just trying to see if theres a way without making the .reg file Thanks alot for your help, James |

To my knowledge there is no way to append or change it directly from the command line. Just a word of caution, playing around with the registry can cause serious damage and render the OS inoperable. Good luck.

You could type out a the key in a text editor and import the file, but I don't know why one would want to go through that kind of trouble.

Hmmmm
Methinks, me fellow frosh may like learning code and special challenges, mayhaps.
A thrust at Linux systems may serve a satisfying diversion, unless he's already mastered such knowin's....

That's fine....just curious.
Anyway, I found this Question on http://www.computerhope.com/registry.htm REGISTRY Q&A Q: Is there a way to edit the registry from a command prompt (DOS)? A: Unfortunately because the registry is a part of Windows it is not possible to edit the registry without running Regedit through Windows. If you are not able to get into Windows you may wish to attempt to run regedit.exe from Safe mode. |
