batch for if else to check regedit

[hezry79]

hi,

Disable Regedit
REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Enable Regedit
REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

I want to create batch file as below:

[1] Run Regedit

My pc was restrict to run regedit unless i enable it back at registry via REG command. I want to do like this:

once user choose [1], batch will check the value of existing registry of user pc. if the existing value is 1, then batch will change value to 0..then it will call the regedit program. after user finished with regedit and close it, the batch will automatically change the value to 1

but when user choose [1], batch check the existing registry of user pc if the existing value is 0, the value will still remain then batch will call the regedit program. after user finished with regedit and close it, batch will close the regedit itself.

simple wors:

if user pc is registry disable, the option [1] will temporary make it enable until user finished used it and it when change ti disable mode again.

if user pc is registry enable, nothing will be change

help me how to code this...

Well, you use a reg query command to get the current value, then you set the value, then you launch regedit, then you set the value to the original value.

Completely untested something like this:

Code: Select all

set "key=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System"

for /f "tokens=2 delims=x" %%a in ('reg query "%key%" /v DisableRegistryTools') do set 

value=%%a

reg add "%key%" /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
start regedit
if defined value (
   reg add "%key%" /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d %value% /f
   ) else (
      reg delete "%key%" /v DisableRegistryTools /f
)
