I have exported registry values from one computer and i want to add same registry values to other computer. Usually if we double click .reg file it will add entire values directly.

But i want to add .reg file to the regedit through python script.

What I have tried:

Initially I thought I can just open .reg file like normal files and read. But how to add that file to regedit i am not understanding.

Can anyone provide me any ideas?
Thanks in advance

You can shell out to the REG command line tool to import the .REG file for you. Open a CMD prompt and type REG IMPORT /? for the command line options.

What you're doing, by exporting the registry on one machine and importing it on another, can make the machine you're importing on unbootable, depending on what you're importing.

Use REG. It won't take much time and it works.
