You have several options:

- Write a .reg-file with the settings you want to apply and import it
  into the registry by running "regedit /s my_settings.reg". Use
  "value"=- and [-KEY\NAME] to delete values and/or keys.
- Edit the registry directly with reg.exe (MS' command-line registry
  editor). On Windows 2000 you will have to install the Support Tools
  from the Windows CD for this.
- Edit the registry directly with a VB-script (see Windows Script
  documentation [1] for details).
