I would like to know how to replace a string in the windows registry with a reg file.

I need for the option scanning a folder and its subfolders searching for doc files.


Best Regards


So :



a .reg file
I need

The automatically update links feature must be configured as off.

And do that through the windows registry :

The policy value for User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Word 2010 -> Word Options -> Advanced “Update automatic links at Open” must be set to “Disabled”.

Procedure: Use the Windows Registry Editor to navigate to the following key:

HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\word\ options

Criteria: If the value DontUpdateLinks is REG_DWORD = 1 this is not a finding.


Once this step is done I need to continue with the VBA script scanning the folder and subfolders.

How can I do the reg file ?

How can I execute the reg file from inside the VBA script ?

Best Regards
