wine reg is Wine's reimplementation of the Windows reg.exe console tool. It lets you inspect and edit the registry of a Wine prefix without launching the graphical regedit, which is handy for scripting installers, applying tweaks in a Wineprefix, and automating application configuration.Registry keys are addressed by their root and path, for example HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyApp. The standard root abbreviations are accepted: HKLM (HKEYLOCALMACHINE), HKCU (HKEYCURRENTUSER), HKCR (HKEYCLASSESROOT), HKU (HKEYUSERS), and **HKCC** (HKEYCURRENT_CONFIG).The tool operates on the registry of the prefix named by the WINEPREFIX environment variable (defaulting to ~/.wine). Each operation is a separate subcommand documented in its own page.

add

Create a key, or add or overwrite a value within it.

Remove a key, a single value, or all values under a key.

Display the values stored under a key, optionally recursing into subkeys.

Copy a key's values (and optionally its subkeys) to another key.

Merge the contents of a .reg file into the registry.

Write a key and its contents to a .reg file.

Backslashes in key paths may need quoting or escaping depending on your shell. Editing the registry of the wrong prefix is a common mistake; set WINEPREFIX explicitly when you maintain more than one. As with the native Windows tool, careless changes can break applications, so back up keys with export before modifying them.
