Assistance with RegWrite to existing key Value


 Share

Recommended Posts

Morning

Just inquiring if it is at all possible to write value to an existing Registry Key? I have been reading multiple forums and Autoit Threads on this specific Registry key, but have not been successful in finding a resolve as of yet.

The key in question is a system key so it cannot be deleted but it can be modified

Path = HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\Navigating\.Current

Key = (Default)

value = C:\Windows\media\Windows Navigation Start.wav

segment of my script

RegDelete("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\Navigating\.Current", "(Default)")

sleep(2000)
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\Navigating\.Current",'(Default)', 'REG_SZ', "C:\Windows\media\Windows Navigation Start.wav")

Now with RegDelete even with full admin privileges I am unable to delete existing key, is there away to delete value?

And with RegWrite it just creates a new registry key with the set value but windows will not "handle" the new registry entry.

I have Tried the process manually , it works if i just remove the value from the existing key and then re add it but the key its self can not be deleted.

Thanks is advance

Hi Thanubis

Your method worked by leaving the name of the key blank

RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\Navigating\.Current",'', 'REG_EXPAND_SZ', "Test")

But i needed to change it to REG_SZ.

it works both with Delete and Write.

Thanks again and have a great week.
