Reg2exe opens reg-files and "creates" a exe file which will, when executed,
import all settings whithin this reg-file to the windows regestry.

If you don't know what Reg-files are, or what the windows registry is, you shouldn't use reg2exe (yet).

Of course reg-files / REGEDIT do the same as reg2exe / created exe-files.
Pro reg-files / REGEDIT:
· You can check what you import and easily modify
· Warns before importing
· No need for msvbvm60.dll
· Smaller size on small files, can be imported in DOS mode
Pro reg2exe / exe-files:
· Can't be modified such easily
· No more warnings / messages (so be careful !)
· No need for regedit.exe
· Does not create a key when deleting from a key that not exists (New feature in 2.10, not REGEDIT4 compatible)
· Smaller size for larger files
· Allowes relative path (new feature in 2.10, not REGEDIT4 compatible)

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· Chg: Vast code changes, and some assembly for fast unicode data processing.
· Chg: Hex(4) limited to 4 bytes, because hex(4) means dword type.
· Add: Option for startup confirmation / finished messagebox
· Add: Hex(1), Hex(2) and Hex(7) data (REG_SZ, REG_EXPAND_SZ, REG_MULTI_SZ) ANSI/Unicode processing/ conversation, depending if it is REGEDIT4 or Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
