Help with registry editing

[JoeB]

hi all,

First off... TOTAL noob here, so I really know next to nothing other than what I've played around with using AutoIT (which was just a RegRead command and a msgbox result)

I'm using SciTE4AutoIT3 and trying to find a way around a registry problem I'm having. Working on deploying an application (WordPerfect 14) to 300 or so users and need to customize a key.

HKCU\Software\Corel\WordPerfect\14\Toolbar contains a bunch of entries that are in hex. One of the values that I want, contains a reference to "C:\documents and settings\admin\application data...etc"

I need to be able to change the "admin" to whomever is currently logged into the computer, or it won't grab the toolbars properly.

The actual registry entry for the one I want to edit is:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Corel\WordPerfect\14\Toolbar]

"Toolbar 1 Attributes"=hex(80000001):d6,01,57,00,6f,00,72,00,64,00,50,00,65,00,\

At the start, it says the name of the toolbar "WordPerfect Brayton" (actually says O.W.o.r.d.P.e.r.f.e.c.t. .B.r.a.y.t.o.n.), then towards the middle is the reference to the location of the file that contains the toolbar "C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Application Data\Corel\PerfectExpert\14\EN\Custom WP Templates\wp14US.wpt"

Is there a way to accomplish this? I see the "@UserName" option in SciTE, but not sure how to implement in script.

Thanks very much in advance
