Foppah Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I'm looking for a shell to uninstall .reg-files when I right click on them in explorer? Is it possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 No, not possible without something 3rd party that tracks what the .reg file adds, subtracts, or changes. A .reg file is just a text file that regedit.exe or reg.exe parses and then uses to modify the registry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm new to make my own .reg-files and I read somewhere that if you put a (-) before the [changes] you uinstall it... Like this:[b]Example.reg[/b]REGEDIT4INSTALL; WHAT IS DOES[Changes]UNINSTALL; WHAT IS DOES[-Changes]So my thought was if use only .reg files with the install info, and no extra code, then I have a explorer shell thats inserts a "-" after every "[" then it would be solved. I want this because then I can easy test new .reg-files (and make my own) and if I don't like it I can switch back fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mijzelf Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Is far from bullet-proof. Let's imagine your .reg file adds a key somewhere, but the key already exists. What should the uninstall section do? Or more subtle, it changes a dword value. To change it back you should have stored the old data somewhere.
