Can I place registry entry comments in .reg files?

Asked By Dorothy Gallardo 30 points N/A Posted on - 05/22/2013

Hi there.  Can someone help me out here?  Can I place registry entry comments in .reg files and is this possible?  Some say you can do this by putting ; or # at the beginning of the line.  So, what is the correct way?  I'm on Windows XP 64 bit.
