Is there a way I can reinitialize the registry in a command line. I would
like to do this without having to log off.

What do you mean by "reinitialize the registry"? What are you trying to
accomplish? Why?

Yes. Kill explorer and restart it.

Open the Task Manager...
Ctrl + Shift + Escape | Click on the Processes tab | Locate and highlight
explorer.exe | Right click explorer.exe | Click End Process | Click
Yes to the Task Manager Warning that pops up | Click File on the Toolbar |
Click New Task (Run...) | Type in: explorer | Click OK

End Process on explorer.exe will make your Desktop and all programs
disappear. This can be startling. Restarting explorer will bring
everything back.

This can fix/restore/reinitialize/refresh a lot of things. Including
reinitializing the registry.

By the way, the above command will only refresh the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive.

Thanks Wesley.
