Can Autoit acquire user unique identifier names

[CodeHog]

I am trying to automate assigning custom names to my Windows ShellNew templates. Most are located in user SID hives that have a unique identifier number and, therefore, I can't write a registry script to modify them. Is there a way to acquire that registry key number with an Autoit script and then modify values under the key?

Is it the actual SID's that you are trying to get? Do you have the usernames to perform the lookups?

Something like this:

#include <Security.au3>

Local $sAccount = @UserName

Local $tSID = _Security__GetAccountSid($sAccount)
Local $sStringSID = _Security__SidToStringSid($tSID)

ConsoleWrite("User = " & $sAccount & @CRLF & "SID = " & $sStringSID & @CRLF)


Local $sAccount = 'NetworkService'

Local $tSID = _Security__GetAccountSid($sAccount)
Local $sStringSID = _Security__SidToStringSid($tSID)

ConsoleWrite("User = " & $sAccount & @CRLF & "SID = " & $sStringSID & @CRLF)


Local $sAccount = 'LocalService'

Local $tSID = _Security__GetAccountSid($sAccount)
Local $sStringSID = _Security__SidToStringSid($tSID)

ConsoleWrite("User = " & $sAccount & @CRLF & "SID = " & $sStringSID & @CRLF)


Local $sAccount = 'System'

Local $tSID = _Security__GetAccountSid($sAccount)
Local $sStringSID = _Security__SidToStringSid($tSID)

ConsoleWrite("User = " & $sAccount & @CRLF & "SID = " & $sStringSID & @CRLF)

 

If this is what you are looking for, you can substitute that for the registry values under HKEY_USERS. Permissions for some of these keys are a whole different ballgame though.

The Permissions UDF may be beneficial if needed.
