Try this:
"%programfiles%\tools\reg add ""HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat
Reader\7.0\FeatureLockdown"" /v bEFIPrintMe /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f"

"I will have to go ahead and disagree with you", as said in Office
Space. 8-]
 
I have the below set-statement in the script:
 
    set PATHTOFILES=c:\program files\tools\
 
Then comes 
 
    %PATHTOFILES%reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat
Reader\7.0\FeatureLockdown" /v bEFIPrintMe /d 0x00000000 /t REG_DWORD /f
 
Which produces the below in a CLI-window:
 
c:\program files\tools\reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat
Reader\7.0\FeatureLockdown" /v bEFIPrintMe /d 0x00000000 /t REG_DWORD /f
 
'c:\program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
 
 
If I instead use
 
    "%PATHTOFILES%reg.exe" add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat
Reader\7.0\FeatureLockdown" /v bEFIPrintMe /d 0x00000000 /t REG_DWORD /f
 
I get
 
    "c:\program files\tools\reg.exe" add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adob
e\Acrobat Reader\7.0\FeatureLockdown" /v bEFIPrintMe /d 0x00000000 /t
REG_DWORD
/f

To many command-line parameters.
 
 
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.

Sorin, 
The path to reg add..
"%programfiles%\tools\reg" add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat 
Reader\7.0\FeatureLockdown" /v bEFIPrintMe /d 0x00000000 /t REG_DWORD /f

The path to reg.exe should not require quotes. I don't use them and it
works. 
Try: %programfiles%\tools\reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat
Reader\7.0\FeatureLockdown" /v bEFIPrintMe /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

The quotes on the reg.exe-part or the hklm-part?
 
For the reg.exe-part I must use qoutes as there are spaces in the path.
The quotes on the hklm-part looks like yours.

Sorin,
Sorry for any confusion, the placement of the quotes. See the string I
use below, shows the placement that works for me.

How do you mean incorrect? They look the same to me. Or do you mean
they're in an incorrect place?

Reg command, 
 It looks like the quotes are incorrect. The below batch strings are
what I have been using successfully. 
Check at the command prompt: reg /? Or reg add /? For help. 
I hope this helps.. 
Good luck 
Bob

Subject:        [windows2000] Reg comand 
Hi all, 
I'm trying to deploy the Acrobat v7.0.5 update to our domain using a
script 
and a GPO. 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. 
 
BW, 
Sorin
