    « on: August 29, 2007, 09:36:29 AM »
    is there anyway to find certain text in a reg file and then replace all of them with a variable..??

    like search for the text  %DRIVE% in the file  XP.REG and REPLACE all instances of it with the variable of %SYSTEMDRIVE%

    is this possible at all.??

    No wonder your Tasklist doesn't work, if this is what you get up to!

      Why not load it into Notepad and do the replacing there?

      gumbaz, I don't think you should be fooling around with your registry. You don't know enough to get out of any trouble you land in, and you'll hose your machine. We'll spend from now till Doomsday dealing with your "HELP PLZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!" posts.
