RegDelete No't Delete Registery Key Why?

[AHRIMANSEFID]

Hi All.

No't Delete key reg Why?

example :

RegDelete("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\", "{46FF608D-98A4-D566-772B-E7CDA74A0B9F}")

You probably don't have access rights for modifying registry.

Try to log-on as Administrator and test if your script will work.

Hi,

on normal circumstances you have the right to write / delete keys in tree HKCU.

The example isn't reproducable, because the key never wouldn't be written like this beneath ...Microsoft\Windows.

1) Start regedit and create a key, eg. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MYTEST, REG_SZ Test with value Test

2) Code: RegDelete("HKCU\Software\MYTEST", "Test")

3) If you have 64 Bit OS you should use HKCU64

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT (see helpfile):

Deleting from the registry is potentially dangerous--please exercise caution

Try this, you're trying to delete sub key not a value:

#RequireAdmin
RegDelete("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved\{46FF608D-98A4-D566-772B-E7CDA74A0B9F}")

Backup first, just in case.

Hi.

I,m Back Sorry.

Me need Code For Delete Address Plz Help Thanks.

Win7 x86+64

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved

[Zedna]

According to helpfile

Function RegDelete

When running on 64-bit Windows if you want to delete a key or value specific to the 64-bit environment you have to suffix the HK... with 64 i.e. HKLM64.

Try this:

RegDelete("HKCU64\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved", "{46FF608D-98A4-D566-772B-E7CDA74A0B9F}")
;RegDelete("HKCU64\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved")
MsgBox(0,'Error Code', @error)

I'm pretty sure that "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\" is security protected an you will have to set permissions on that key.

[AHRIMANSEFID]

Ok Plz Add example

[sahsanu]

Let's see if you are admin, try this:

#RequireAdmin
If IsAdmin() Then
   RegDelete("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved")
Else
   MsgBox(16,"Error","You are not admin")
EndIf

Edit: If you run Windows 7 64 bits change HKCU by HKCU64 in above RegDelete function.

Not Delete Not Show Me Error Autoit.

[sahsanu]

Not Delete Not Show Me Error Autoit.

Did you try HKCU and HKCU64?. Sorry but I never played with Windows 7 and don't have any Windows 7 installed to test the examples.

Test if you can read the registry key (if HKCU64 does not work try with HKCU):

#RequireAdmin
If IsAdmin() Then
   RegRead("HKCU64\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved","")
   MsgBox(0,"",@error & " & " & @extended)
Else
   MsgBox(16,"Error","You are not admin")
EndIf

[AHRIMANSEFID]

Not delete.

me test new win 7 x86.

Autoit Send Code :
