Windows NT remote registry import

Thanks for the info.

I actually need to import a section of the registry that contains 
probably over 200 keys. Importing them one at a time would take a 
substantial amount of code.

Is there a way to merge a .reg file, so I can get the entire group of 
keys at once?
