Documentation

Command line Registry access, including batch mode!

See the manual for more examples.

If you get an error message like "error loading plugin" when running RECmd after downloading the ZIP archive and extracting it using Windows' ZIP tool, use the following PowerShell command to unblock the DLLs:

PS> Unblock-File .\Plugins\*.dll

Batch Files

RECmd uses Batch Files to make your Registry output more actionable. Learn about Batch Files here!

As of September 2021, there is a README specifically for the Kroll_Batch file used by RECmd and KAPE. Find it here!
