reg-add: Add a new value to a key with a specific data type.
$ reg add ${key_name} /t ${type}
try on your machine

This command is used to add a new registry key or modify an existing registry key in the Windows operating system.

The command syntax is: reg add ${key_name} /t ${type}

  • ${key_name} is the name of the registry key you want to add or modify. You need to replace "${key_name}" with the actual name of the key.
  • /t ${type} specifies the data type of the value you want to add or modify. You need to replace "${type}" with the actual data type. Common data types include REG_SZ (string), REG_DWORD (DWORD or integer), REG_BINARY (binary data), REG_MULTI_SZ (multiple strings), etc.

For example, if you want to add or modify a registry key named "TestKey" with a string value, you would run the command: reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Test /v TestKey /t REG_SZ

This command adds or modifies the registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Test\TestKey" and sets its data type to REG_SZ (string).
