What if I told you you can create and set a registry entry with a single line of powershell

What if I told you I'd rather bash my skull in than use powershell.

That's ok too. If you're not comfortable in the cli you can switch to a more gui focused windows distro. Most of the same functionality is there.

You can run a batch file too with your skull, although I do not recommend.

You can install gentoo with a single line of bash

What if I told you you can make a backup of a config file and edit a single line in a conf file, all with a single line of bash?

sudo cp config.conf config.conf.bak.$(date +"%Y%m%d%H%M%S") && sed -i 's/^\(CONFIG_NAME\s*=\s*\).*/\1new_value/' config.conf
