Regarding the problem of "too many command-line arguments" when using the REG command - China DOS Union Forum

Strange, I copied reg.exe from XP to the system32 folder of my WIN2000 system, and it can run. But when I tried to write one, it prompted: "Error: Too many command-line arguments"

Oh... This is also an error?

Explanation: The function is to modify the current value of an existing item in the registry, using the reg add command. I wonder if it's appropriate?

Enter in the command line window of win2000:
reg add HKCU\software\class efg setting\abc offices\my computers usb /v XYZ /d 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 /f
Because it's a REG_SZ value, so I didn't add the /t parameter. After pressing Enter, the above prompt appeared???
The path is correct, the item is correct. Please advise...
I tried to change the value, and it's the same prompt. Does it mean that REG doesn't support directories below level 3 under the registry primary key or doesn't support long path sub-item names with spaces?
Using other REG DELETE or REG EXPORT commands to operate this item, the same prompt appears. Please ask where the problem is? Thanks...

Dizzy... What can I say? So that's how it is... I don't know if I should blame Microsoft for not explaining it in the help or thank the great experts on the Internet... Does anyone know where the problem is? [ Last edited by flying008 on 2006-7-13 at 10:26 ]

Quotation marks The parameter is up to 10, and all parameters with spaces must be enclosed in quotation marks

Not bad! It's the quotation marks that cause the trouble! I would like to ask the above-mentioned XD again, what does "up to 10 parameters" mean? I can't find the relevant instructions, so I have to trouble you. Thank you!
