Hi,

I need to import a registry change but the setting will not take effect unless i reboot, which can't be done in this scenario. Does anyone know of a way to apply registry changes without requiring a reboot?

If the key you are making changes to resides in the HKCU hive, then just logoff and logon again.
You could also try stopping and restarting Explorer and see if that rereads enough of the registry for your purposes.
Otherwise.... no.

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately it's the HKLM hive and killing explorer didnt work.

Thanks!!!
