Change registry value for updating links through vba
[Moderator's note: Split from this thread: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...es-across.html
Poster's native language is Spanish. end of note] 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 ?

You don't need to create a reg file in order to write to the registry. Have a look at Read and change a registry key using VBA
