Developers Jos Posted March 25, 2017 Developers Share Posted March 25, 2017 So guess there is no rename function, but maybe RegRead() and RegWrite allows you to copy it?

Developers Jos Posted March 25, 2017 Developers Share Posted March 25, 2017 What is the problem with copying? What about you be a little clearer what you really want to do as I am totally lost why one would want to mess with renaming Registry keys with a script. So do us all a favor and explain exactly what you want in stead of this vague story in your initial post!

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted March 27, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 27, 2017 You are not going to be able to rename without a copy through AutoIt natively, but you can use it to call PowerShell: ShellExecute("powershell", 'Rename-Item -Path "HKCU:\MyKey1" -NewName "MyKey2"') "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

SoyArcano Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 a ok so it's renaming i saw a lot of examples but all of them at last copy the tree of keys and then move it. But i think this method you are really renaming the name. i asked because in my case copying all the content of one key is innecesary when you only need to rename it.
