I need this .reg file to be applied through a vbscript, Anyone have any idea how to do this ? thanks in advance Does it *have* to be through VBScript? Since you're posting this in an XP-specific newsgroup, have a look at the REG command. Specifically, REG IMPORT.

Or alternatively, REGEDIT /S name of REG file
However, a VB Script can be used to manipulate the Registry directly. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting.

I was tempted to suggest that, but given that the original poster already has his .reg file, and without knowing exactly how big that file is, it's probably easier to just import it.

If all its doing is changing the screen res, it can't be that big :-)

Throw in a binary field, and it's just easier to import a reg file than to create the entry in VBScript. :-p To the original poster: care to post the content of your .reg file? I'm curious to know what registry entries you're editing to change resolution.
