          Add an entry to [Registry] section with ValueType parameter set to multisz. Use {olddata} and {break} tokens in the ValueData parameter:




          On a string, expandsz, or multisz type value, you may use a special constant called {olddata} in this parameter. {olddata} is replaced with the previous data of the registry value. The {olddata} constant can be useful if you need to append a string to an existing value, for example, {olddata};{app}. If the value does not exist or the existing value isn't a string type, the {olddata} constant is silently removed. {olddata} will also be silently removed if the value being created is a multisz type but the existing value is not a multi-string type (i.e. it's REG_SZ or REG_EXPAND_SZ), and vice versa.



          On a multisz type value, you may use a special constant called {break} in this parameter to embed line breaks (nulls).




          [Registry]
          Root: HKLM; Subkey: "SYSTEMCurrentControlSetControl"; ValueType: multisz;
          ValueName: "PreshutdownOrder"; ValueData: "{olddata}{break}newline"
