It tells you in the link that Ralph gave you.
This will add SillyBilly value to HKCU\Control Panel without removing
other keys or values:
==========================================
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel]
"SillyBilly"=""
==========================================
To add SillyData to the value Data:
==========================================
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel]
"SillyBilly"="SillyData"
==========================================
To confirm that merging .reg files leaves other keys and values intact,
after merging the above key do another merge with this one:
==========================================
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel]
"RageddyAnn"="KnowsBetter"
==========================================
Now look in the registry at HKCU\Control Panel and see for yourself what
the merge did.
Try it and see! You won't hurt anything by merging the above to the
registry, the entries do nothing and they will simply be ignored, delete
them after your little test.
