IMHO "" are necessary every time you have a path with spaces in it, no matter if you have a set-statement or not. "c:\program files" includes a space in all US English versions of WinXP Pro I know of. -----Original Message----- From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Schneider, Robert @ ILEX Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2006 4:38 PM To: 'windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [windows2000] Re: Reg comand Sorin, The path to reg add..

After the deployment itself, I want to add certain registry keys to the computers that have had this update installed. The key below is an example (line may be wrapped): "%programfiles%\tools\reg" add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\FeatureLockdown" /v bEFIPrintMe /d 0x00000000 /t REG_DWORD /f Problem is that I get an error "To many command-line parameters.". How can it be too long?? The "Tools"-folder on the local computer contains the reg.exe, but I get the same error. I also ried running the reg.exe command from the dfs-share and get the same error there. Am I hitting a hard-coded limit on the path-lenght or something here? If so, could you suggest any other way to do this? TIA.
