If you mean, you want to save a file as .reg, then type code in notepad and then save the file as a .reg file.

Click File -> Save As -> Choose the file type as 'all files' and save file with a .reg extension.

^^ the code must be written in a particular order .. i want to know that

[aditya.shevade]

^^ Oops... Sorry mate. I thought you know. You can do one thing. Make the changes you want using regedit. Then right click on that particular key. And export it. The code will be written by itself.

Not on windows right now. Will post later, if someone has not posted already.

just copy-paste d following code in notepad and save it as "filename.reg" (includin quotes)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"name_of_value_here"=-

NOTE:- name_of_value_here shud b replaced by d appropri8 value name (quotes not to b removed)

^^ I dont want to edit the value.. i want to delete "NoFolderOptions" from right panel

Just delete the NoFolderOptions value and export the whole [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer] Key...
now wen u double the reg file it shd overwrite all previous values thus deleting NoFolderOptions..

Following is the reg file you need:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoFolderOptions"=-
