scwoobles Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 #requireadmin if not RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\HideFileExt\type", "checkbox") Then Local $longdate = " Long date set incorrectly ;( " Else Local $longdate = " Long date set Correctly :) " MsgBox(64,"Terminal User Setup", $longdate,0,0) EndIf MsgBox(64,"Terminal User Setup", @error,0,0) This is most likely a simple issue but for the life of me i can not seem to figure out why this gives me an error of 1. I know that error 1 means that it cant open the key but it could before and the permissions on this key are set for admin access to read. any help please.....thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted August 16, 2016 Developers Share Posted August 16, 2016 Are you running this with the 32 or 64 bits version of AutoIt3. ( think about the registry hive used by 32 bits) Jos SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.

Developers Jos Posted August 16, 2016 Developers Share Posted August 16, 2016 So the second bit in my post should be an indication what your issue is. Quote from the helpfile: Quote Remarks A registry key must start with "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" ("HKLM") or "HKEY_USERS" ("HKU") or "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" ("HKCU") or "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" ("HKCR") or "HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG" ("HKCC").When running on 64-bit Windows if you want to read a value specific to the 64-bit environment you have to suffix the HK... with 64 i.e. HKLM64.

scwoobles Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 If I was trying a 64bit key I could understand but this key is 32bit, but just assuming that I was mistaken(happens more than i'd like to admit) I tried with the 32 bit version if not RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\HideFileExt\type", "checkbox") Then Local $longdate = " Long date set incorrectly ;( " Else Local $longdate = " Long date set Correctly :) " MsgBox(64,"Terminal User Setup", $longdate,0,0) EndIf MsgBox(64,"Terminal User Setup", @error,0,0) and I also tried the 64bit if not RegRead("HKLM64\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\HideFileExt\type", "checkbox") Then Local $longdate = " Long date set incorrectly ;( " Else Local $longdate = " Long date set Correctly :) " MsgBox(64,"Terminal User Setup", $longdate,0,0) EndIf MsgBox(64,"Terminal User Setup", @error,0,0) And Instead of just trying to run it, I compiled both and then tried executing both and still with error 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted August 16, 2016 Developers Share Posted August 16, 2016 So the key you are trying to read is actually located in?: "HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\HideFileExt\type" Jos SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.

Developers Jos Posted August 16, 2016 Developers Share Posted August 16, 2016 But isn't that the x64 version in stead if the 32 bits ...or am I totally mistaken now?

Developers Jos Posted August 16, 2016 Developers Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) You are seeing different results than I see. Do you need admin rights to read it that hive? Try adding #requireAdmin at the top ( ConsoleWrite will not work) #RequireAdmin $rc=RegRead("HKLM64\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\HideFileExt\type", "checkbox") MsgBox(262144, 'Debug line ~' & @ScriptLineNumber, 'Selection:' & @CRLF & '$rc' & @CRLF & @CRLF & 'Return:' & @CRLF & $rc) ;### Debug MSGBOX $rc=RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\HideFileExt\type", "checkbox") MsgBox(262144, 'Debug line ~' & @ScriptLineNumber, 'Selection:' & @CRLF & '$rc' & @CRLF & @CRLF & 'Return:' & @CRLF & $rc) ;### Debug MSGBOX Edited August 16, 2016 by Jos SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.

Developers Jos Posted August 16, 2016 Developers Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Makes sense ... I am currently at a loss as it is working fine for me.
