LOADKEY

Action

Loads a registry key (including its subkeys and values) from a file.

 

Syntax

LOADKEY ("subkey", "file name")

 

Parameters

Subkey

The subkey in which you want to load the information. This subkey must exist for the call to be successful.

File name

Identifies the file from which to import the information. This file must be a valid registry hive file created by using the SAVEKEY function, or by using a registry editor.

Remarks

On Windows NT or higher, using LOADKEY requires Backup and Restore privileges.

 

Caution

LOADKEY imports information into the registry and overwrites any existing subkey. This replaces all the subkeys and values that may already exist in the subkey you are loading. Any existing values and subkeys are lost.
