Re: Refreshing the Windows Registry

If I am reading correctly you want to use your new registry settings with out a reboot.

IF I remember correctly you need to send a WM_SETTINGCHANGE message to the windows OS. The WIN32::OLE::NLS module has SendSettingChange() function that does just that. This is untested and over a year old memory.

update: I miss read the question. Still you will need to send the WM_SETTINGCHANGE message for open windows (the Command/CMD prompt) to know about your change.
