The HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT or HKEY_CURRENT_USER roots will not be available on a remote machine.
Root keys can be referenced by actual name or by the following abbreviations:
HKLM = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKCR = HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
HKCU = HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKUS = HKEY_USERS
HKCC = HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
HKDD = HKEY_DYN_DATA
All key and value commands will accept a wildcard value of ‘*’ at the end of the name.
All key and value commands will accept a ‘..’ to represent the key level up one from the current
The files used by the import and export commands are compatible with RegEdt32. The import command will begin at the current key, and will overwrite the existing key entries. All existing subkeys and values will be removed prior to inserting the new entries.
To set a registry value to the empty string, use "<empty>", excluding the quotes.
FUNCTION KEYS:
When entering a command the F9 and F10 keys will list possible keys in the existing command line path, forward and backward respectively.
For example, if the command line entered is
\\MACHINENAME> cd
pressing F9 will cause
\\MACHINENAME> cd HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
pressing F9 again will cause
\\MACHINENAME> cd HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
pressing F10 will cause
\\MACHINENAME> cd HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
use "*" at the end of the command line before typing F9 or F10, to begin at the key beginning with the value entered
The F3 and UP_ARROW keys will repeat the last command entered.
The F5 key will complete the command line with the absolute registry key path for Pragma Systems' InterAccess product line.
