Hi "teh.asbo",
Thanks for posting this handy tip. :)
Note that if the administrator is smart and
doesn't want you messing with the registry (as
any semi-intelligent network admin would),
regedit has likely been disable, including the
abilty to merge .reg files. With regedt disabled
in this way, you cannot merge .reg files even as
an administrator (there are other methods where
merging is still possible but what's the point?).
While there are ways to re-enable regedit, doing
so when the admin has purposefully locked them
down is, at the very least, an intentional
security breach. The possible ramificationsloss
of computer use, loss of employment, criminal
chargesthat could stem from intentionally
breaching a computer's security measures should not be taken lightly.
With all this in mind, I do have a small number
of personal clients that have had their
registries fouled by malicious code which
included disabling regedit and .reg files. For
situations such as this, I use the script found
here
(http://windowsfair.blogspot.com/2006/03/how-to-enable-regedit.html)
to re-enable their regedit (assuming I don't just
wipe the machine and rebuild it, that is).
One final note, if the admin has *really* locked
the computer down, scripting may well be disabled
and then even the above trick won't work for you.
