Hello Everyone,

I want to write a simple batch file to do logic checks against the registry.

I don't want to modify the registry in anyway, just to a check and then
based on that condition, execute another part of the batch file.

Is this possible?

Thank you in advance.
 
Use the RegRead method of VBScript. Get the documentation here.

Can't I do this without VBscript?

You could do it in a C/C++ program with the Reg* family of functions.

JPSoft's "4NT" and "TakeCommand" command interpreters have built-in
registry-reading functions that could be used in batch files.

There's a Microsoft utility called REG.EXE. It has been around a while and
I don't recall exactly where is (maybe some Resource Kit). It allows
reading the registry from a CMD command line. Here's the top-level help
message for REG.EXE.

It's really not that difficult. Check the documentation or as Vincent
mentioned reg.exe from the support tools folder on your Windows 2000 install
CD-Rom.
