SUMMARY
=======

You can use the Rregchg.exe tool included with the Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit
to remotely create or change a registry data value. This tool can modify only
the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE portion of the registry.

MORE INFORMATION
================


The RREGCHG command uses the following syntax:

  RREGCHG \\<computer> KeyName ValueName Type Value

For example, to change the data value for the ClassesBuild value in the following
registry key:

  Key:     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\JavaVM
  Value:   ClassesBuild = 1100
  Type:    REG_SZ

You would type

  RREGCHG \\<computer> SOFTWARE\Microsoft\JavaVM ClassesBuild REG_SZ 1200

where <computer> is the computer name of the remote computer. The data
value for the ClassesBuild value changes to 1200.
