How to: Import Registry Files in the Registry Editor
Registry keys and values can be added to a deployment project by importing a registry file (.reg) into the Registry Editor. This allows you to save time by copying an entire section of an existing registry in a single step. Registry files can be created using tools such as the registry editor (regedit.exe) included with Microsoft Windows 2000.
