Regwrite command has me beat

[copyleft]

In the example below, I'm not sure where the quote marks end and the commas would go using the regwrite command. Is there an autoit command to execute REGEDIT /S for this registry file???

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{9E56BE61-C50F-11CF-9A2C-00A0C90A90CE}]

"NeverShowExt"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{9E56BE61-C50F-11CF-9A2C-00A0C90A90CE}\InProcServer32]

@="E:\\XP\\SYSTEM32\\SENDMAIL.DLL"

"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{9E56BE61-C50F-11CF-9A2C-00A0C90A90CE}\DefaultIcon]

@="E:\\XP\\explorer.exe,3"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{9E56BE61-C50F-11CF-9A2C-00A0C90A90CE}\shellex]

If you want to kick off a CMD shell to run REGEDIT use Run():

Run(@CmdSpec & " /c REGEDIT /S C:\MyDir\MyFile.reg", @TempDir, @SW_Show)

If you want AutoIT to write the values use RegWrite():

$RegKey = "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{9E56BE61-C50F-11CF-9A2C-00A0C90A90CE}"
RegWrite($RegKey, "NeverShowExt", "")

Little penguine error ...

Run(@CmdSpec & " /c REGEDIT /S C:\MyDir\MyFile.reg", @TempDir, @SW_Show)

This will work better.

It still remains untested though, because I don't routinely have Windows loaded. So take my comment about defaulting the Type as "" with a grain of salt...

Edit: MHz comment below makes me think I was wrong about being able to default the type on a pre-existing value (and he would certainly know better than I). So I've tweake the code above with REG_SZ type in all cases.

Thanks for the correction.

"Type" parameter seems to be empty for some reason?

Edit:

I see your grain of salt. Perhaps "REG_SZ" would do as they are all simple string data items.

Wow, thanks to all for the help.
