SUMMARY

You can use the Rregchg.exe tool included with the Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit to remotely create or change a registry data value. This tool can modify only the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE portion of the registry.

MORE INFORMATION

The RREGCHG command uses the following syntax:

RREGCHG \\<computer> KeyName ValueName Type Value

For example, to change the data value for the ClassesBuild value in the following registry key:


   Key:     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\JavaVM
   Value:   ClassesBuild = 1100
   Type:    REG_SZ

You would type

RREGCHG \\<computer> SOFTWARE\Microsoft\JavaVM ClassesBuild REG_SZ 1200

where <computer> is the computer name of the remote computer. The data value for the ClassesBuild value changes to 1200.
