How do I apply a .reg file without the success message?

A. To apply a .reg file (a registry information file) the normal method from the command prompt is to enter

C:\> regedit <registry file>.reg

This applies the change and gives a confirmation message:

"Information is <filename>.reg has been successfully entered into the registry"

If you would like to avoid this confirmation message and apply the change silently use the /s switch, e.g.

C:\> regedit /s <registry file>.reg
