SYMPTOMS
Extended ANSI values in a .reg files are not added to the registry.
If you create a .reg file that contains any @=hex(2) values or you modify
and existing .reg fil,e none of the extended ANSI values after the @=hex(2)
value will be added to the registry.
Example of a .reg file:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\aifffile\DefaultIcon]
@=hex(2):44,3a,5c,57,49,4e,4e,54,34,30,5c,53,79,73,74,65,6d,33,32,5c,
71,75,61,72,74,7a,2e,64,6c,6c,2c,2d,32,30,32,00
"AMovie.bak"="MPlayer.exe,2"
Changing any of the ANSI codes after the @=kex(2) value and then double-
clicking the .reg file will not yield any changes to the registry for that
key; neither will running REGEDIT Test.reg.
NOTE: You can create a .reg file by running REGEDIT, selecting the key you
want to export, and then selecting Export Registry from the Registry menu.
