As stated above, I've compiled a number of registry tweaks and Windows settings that I normally change manually. Many I've pulled from third party sites, but no one had the reg setting that modifies the amount of L2 Cache that Windows sees. So I look up the Reg key from here and while looking at the other reg script lines that I copied into my reg file, I wrote the following code:
Note: 0x00000800 is 2048 in decimal, i.e. 2MB L2 Cache for the Dothan in my T42.
But when I put that code in a file named CacheTweak.reg and try to execute it, Windows tells me that it is not a valid registry script. As an example, here is the reg code I looked at to write this:
Please explain to me where I am going wrong with my code. I've not been able to find any kind of guide for registry script syntax or creation or anything. Specifically pointing out what is wrong with my code would be awesome, but if anyone knows the general rules for syntax, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
