Evgenych Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 In my script I want to set explorer's property "show full path in adress string" (when it isn't set) by executing RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState","FullPathAddress","REG_DWORD",1)But explorer's behaviour doesn't change and when I execute Run("explorer d:\path") in adress string remain only folder name.How can I update explorer properties?

jftuga Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 It may be the case that you are not changing the correct registry key.What I usually do in these situations is use RegMon from Sysinternals. This monitoring tool lets you see all Registry activity in real-time.So what I do is this:1) Open Explorer and get to the dialog box that I want to change.2) Start RegMon. If a lot of keys are being accessed, I will close those programs and/or set a filter.3) Go back to Explorer and make the change.4) Go back to RegMon and see which registry keys were changed.Hope this helps!-John Admin_Popup, show computer info or launch shellRemote Manager, facilitates connecting to RDP / VNCProc_Watch, reprioritize cpu intensive processesUDF: _ini_to_dict, transforms ini file entries into variablesUDF: monitor_resolutions, returns resolutions of multiple monitorsReport Computer Problem, for your IT help deskProfile Fixer, fixes a 'missing' AD user profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Drache Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I'm sorry. All works fine. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Let me guess....you re-started explorer, or re-started the computer?When you twark with the registry, sometimes you'll have to restart the program in question after tinkering, or close it out before tinkering to get the desired results.

Evgenych Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 (edited) I find out that's the problem.FullPathAddress - changes immediately, when value is edited via regedit or script (you can see changes after pressing F5)FullPath (affect on caption) - I can change it only via Folder Properties-View-Show full path in caption AND pressing OK (Apply). In such a case value HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState\Settingschanges also.For my current script FullPathAddress - is pretty enough (I use window text to identify different folders)p.s. sorry for bad English It may be the case that you are not changing the correct registry keyDefinitly not.
