Help with applying registry updates

[Joe-Schmo]

Hey all,

Here is a simple script:

RegWrite ( "HKCU\Control Panel\Mouse", "SwapMouseButtons", "REG_SZ", "1" )

This is simply switching the left/right mouse buttons around for left handed users in windows 2000.

The problem Im having is Im trying to apply these changes without logging out of the workstation and back in.

Does anyone know of a way to Apply or re-read user registry settings?

Thanks

try this:

ProcessClose("explorer.exe")
Do
    Sleep(1000)
Until ProcessExists("explorer.exe") = 0
Run("explorer.exe")

Thanks for the suggestion! However this did not work. It does what you want it to but it does not reload the mouse changes I have may until I logout and re-login.

Any other suggestions?

This might work

Run this command

RunDll32.exe USER32.DLL,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters ,1 ,True

[Shevilie]

RUNDLL32 USER32.DLL,SwapMouseButton

HI,

try:

#cs
    mode = 1 for swapping
    mode = 0 for returning to normal mode
#ce

SwapMouseButton()
ToolTip("swapped!", 0, 0)
Sleep(5000)
SwapMouseButton(0)
ToolTip("Normal!", 0, 0)

Func SwapMouseButton($mode = 1)
    DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SwapMouseButton", "int", $mode)
EndFunc   ;==>SwapMouseButton

_SwitchMousePrimary(_MouseGetPrimary())
Func _MouseGetPrimary()
    Local $aDLLMButton = DllCall('User32.dll', 'int', 'SwapMouseButton', 'int', True)
    If IsArray($aDLLMButton) And $aDLLMButton[0] <> 0 Then Return 0
    If IsArray($aDLLMButton) And $aDLLMButton[0] = 0 Then DllCall('User32.dll', 'int', 'SwapMouseButton', 'int', False)
    Return 1
EndFunc   ;==>_MouseGetPrimary

Func _SwitchMousePrimary($nPrimary)
    Return DllCall('User32.dll', 'int', 'SwapMouseButton', 'int', $nPrimary)
EndFunc

So long,
