Can't edit reg key

[avechuche]

Hi, I'm trying to change the download directory to a different disk. I have dealt with.

#RequireAdmin

RegWrite("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\User Shell Folders", "{374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B}", "REG_EXPAND_SZ", "E:\")

RegWrite("HKCU64\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\User Shell Folders", "{374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B}", "REG_EXPAND_SZ", "E:\")

RegWrite returns true, but it does not change. Im use Win 8.1 x64.

¿?, That is not the solution, not even the registry value is changed.

You've Write value here: "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\User Shell Folders"

I am sure that RegWrite worked very well, and I believe you are wrong. 
No need to open Regedit to check the results when RegWrite return is 1.

but the solution for you:
 

#RequireAdmin
RegWrite("HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders", "{374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B}", "REG_EXPAND_SZ", "E:\")
RegWrite("HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders", "{374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B}", "REG_SZ", "E:\")
;~ RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F && explorer.exe", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE)
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE)
Run(@WindowsDir&"\explorer.exe")
