# Reg Files in XEOX

## Problem

A .reg file needs to be created and executed via an automation in XEOX.

## Solution

In order to create a .reg file you first need to [create an automation](https://docs.xeox.com/automations/kk29w6Dr2iM3dbYa6gqsvV/automation/mZg6HQd9yufhkfDEeu4Yme).

Afterwards follow the following steps:

- Use create file from the toolbox. Write in the file what you need and then name the file and add .reg.

- To run the .reg file, you must specify **regedit as Executable** when using execute. Under **Arguments**, you must write /s (because it imports a .reg file without asking) and afterwards the name of the file.

Lastly, set the devices the automation is supposed to run on. This automation will now be able to create and execute a .reg file.
