@REGCREATE[HKEY...\subkey]: Create a new registry subkey. The parameter starts with the root key, which can be abbreviated:

 

 

The remainder of the parameter (after the backslash) specifies the new subkey. The entire name must be quoted if it contains any white space or special characters, for example:

 

@REGCREATE["HKLM\Software\My Company\My Product\User"]

 

REGCREATE will create any intermediate keys necessary. For example, @REGCREATE[HKCU\key1\key2\key3] will create all three keys (if they do not already exist). REGCREATE returns 0 if the subkey was created or the Windows error number if an error occurred.

 

If the key name begins with \\machinename, @REGCREATE opens the registry on a remote machine. The remote registry service must be running on the remote machine, and you must have access and permissions. The HKEY parameter can be one of the following keys:

 

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (or HKCR)

HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG (or HKCC)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER (or HKCU)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (or HKLM)

HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA (or HKPD)

HKEY_USERS (or HKU)
