Re: reg compare help

"Quote the full paths"

Using a pair of quotes for each full path works!

I am humbly grateful.

|
| C:\REG COMPARE
| \\CCT2ISDE00\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
| Settings\Zones
| \\CCT2ISDE01\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
| Settings\Zones /OD /S
|
| The snag I'm encountering is the error:
|
| Error: Invalid key name
|
| The Invalid key name is "Internet Settings". The command produces the
| desired output on everything prior to that subkey, but once "Internet
| Settings" is incorporated the error is generated.
|
| I've attempted many variants but all produce an one error or another
| the output of which leads me to suspect the two word key isn't valid in
| the command.
|
| My questions to the community are whether or not a valid abbreviation
| of the full key exists and if one does exist what is it?
