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?

You could also try stopping and restarting Explorer and see if that rereads enough of the registry for your purposes.
Otherwise.... no.

Thanks!!!
