Saving changes to registry values

There are a number of 'features' in XP that I always want to change or
disable when installing a new system that require editing registry values
(disabling the irritating 'balloon help' or 'tooltips' and increasing the
number of Recent Documents are two that spring to mind).

Editing the necessary values is easy, but since this is something I want to
do for every installation, I'd like to be able to save the modified values
and import them in one go. This would save time and streamline the
customisation process.

Is it possible?

How can I do this?

Several ways of doing it but the one documented here is probably one of
the easiest way:

How to add, modify, or delete registry subkeys and values by using a
registration entries (.reg) file

If you're talking about getting rid of the cartoon like speaking balloons
that pop up when I'm trying to shut windows down, I sure would like to know
how to do that.

thx

You can do this by a bat file using [reg] command. Here is complete
information of this :
