Why not just use a simple script like this??? No need to overcomplicate
the requirement, and the way I've done it does not hardcode the path to
the dictionary folder in the user's profile.
@echo off
SetLocal
Set KEY=HKCU\Software\Telelogic
REG ADD "%KEY%" /V "DICTIONARY" /D "%UserProfile%\dictionary"
EndLocal
Cheers,
Jeremy.

Thanks to all that replied.
This worked well.
I didn't try the Expandable String value.
The %%username%% did not work.

Worst case you can generate the reg file from script:
@echo off
echo Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 > tmp.reg
echo [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Telelogic] >> tmp.reg
echo "DICTIONARY"="C:\\Documents and
Settings\\%username%\\dictionary" >> tmp.reg
regedit /s tmp.reg
echo y |del tmp.reg

Hi all, is there a way to use the %username% variable in reg
files? Something like:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Telelogic]
"DICTIONARY"="C:\Documents and Settings\\%username%\dictionary"
After running it, the "%username%" is entered in their registry.
What's the correct syntax?
Thanks,
