Modify registry key

[obfuscatedv]

Say that....

HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetControlClassABC contains several different subkeys, such as

HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetControlClassABC123

HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetControlClassABC456

HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetControlClassABC789

Within one of these three subkeys, lies a value name that needs to be changed - we'll call it VALNAME. So it would need to find which one of those three subkeys holds VALNAME - which would be modified.

I am thinking I could just use regread to search for it, but am curious on the best way to parse through them (There are way more than 3 subkeys to search through; this is purely for example)

Look at RegEnumKey in the help file.

Ok, so using RegEnumKey. 

For example,

For $i = 1 to 20
     Local $var = RegEnumKey("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ABC\", $i)

 

How should you parse through each of those three subkeys above to find "VALNAME"?

[JLogan3o13]

Taken almost word for word from the example under RegEnumKey...

$path = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ABC\"
For $i = 1 To 100
    $sSubKey = RegEnumKey($path, $i)
        If @error Then
            ExitLoop
        Else
            $var = RegRead($path & $sSubKey, "VALNAME")
                    If Not @error Then MsgBox(0, $path & $sSubKey, $var)
        EndIf
Next
