Reg Converter is a portable freeware utility to convert .reg data to .bat, .vbs, or .au3. This is particularly useful for files which need administrator privileges in order to be merged into the registry , or for unattended installations.
Reg Converter v1.2 – What’s New – (Monday, 22. January 2018)
1. [ Fixed ] – Convert Clipboard button bug
2. [ Fixed ] – Minor BUGS and some code weakness
3. [ Added ] – Small settings for REG_DWORD registry values
4. [ Added ] – Non zero return code and syntax error identification in Command line mode
1. To convert any .reg file to .bat, .vbs, or .au3, click the ‘Select reg file” icon (the yellow folder) or just drag and drop the .reg file into the window.
2. Choose an ouput file type. If you choose .bat file output, you can select “Use Reg.exe” or “Use Regedit.exe”, though this has some limitations, for example writing Unicode characters to the registry is problematic.
3. To convert the .reg data, click the Convert button in the upper right, then click the “Save” button to save your converted data.
If you find a useful registry tweak on a website, and want to easily convert it to one of the supported formats, just copy it, then in Reg Converter use the “Clipboard” button in the upper right. It will convert the clipboard content, simplifying the process by saving you the steps of pasting text into Notepad, saving as a .reg file, then using regconverter.exe to convert it.
You can also add convert options to your right-click context menu. To do so, click the “Menu” button, then “Context Menu Options”. You can then choose which converters you would like to see on your context menu. Click “Apply Changes” to confirm your choices.
Reg Converter has CMD (command line) support. The screenshot below shows the available parameters (or type RegConverter.exe /? at the command line to list them)

Thank you got it

After converting this file to bat and running it, incorrect data is added to the registry due to the ANSI encoding in the bat file.
Please give us an example for REG_SZ parameter with a Russian name.
If the REG_SZ parameter with a Russian name or value is contained, then the saved bat file must be encoded in DOS-866, and not ANSI as obtained after conversion. The use of such a bat file, introduces incorrect data into the registry.
If possible, please correct this.
In future update, can you also add a feature to convert reg files to Default User registry hive format so you can import into Default User registry hive? It will ask user to enter a temporarily key name to use it just a default key name but let the user know.
Double quotation marks must be used in values. there is no error in our tests
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\123]
"somecmd"="dosomething && echo ok || echo bad"
Bug: When converting .reg to .bat, if a string value contains ampersands or pipes, they are not being escaped. Example:
Input: [HKEY_USERS\somekey]
"somecmd"="dosomething && echo ok || echo bad"
Thank you for this very useful tool. I’m using it as non-admin to write to HKCU. Can you create an option to deactivate the “Require Admin”? I have to deactivate it manually every time after building a new script.
Thank you! Is an excellent tool! Are there any future plans to add support for AutoHotKey? That would be very useful.
Can add the option Convert to CMD?
Or change the menu item Convert to BAT.
I understand that it is possible to change the expansion of BAT to CMD, but at once CMD is more convenient.
CMD run only from Windows, BAT files can be run from under DOS, but why is it needed now?
Hebrew Language added , Thank you
