Modify registry entry within a unique registry key

[jafo2010]

I hope someone can help with my problem, Im trying to modify a registry value that contains a key which ends with a unique identifier for each computer.

Example:

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1617767100-1661673603-930774774-?????\Software\

The first 41 characters after HKEY_USERS are always identical on every machine, the last 5 characters are always unique on every machine. How would I go about reading the first portion to find the ending 5 digits so that I can modify keys beyond the unique key name? Ive tried wildcards but it doesnt seem to work, or perhaps Im using them incorrectly.

There is a reason for that.

Can't you just modify the same value under HKEY_CURRENT_USER?

Unfortunately I need this setting to be passed to all users not just the current user, also this will be done remotely and multiple users will log onto these systems.

try using stringsplit command

I solved the problem which I will post here in case anyone needs something similar.

It's not pretty, but it works.

For $i= 1 to 10
    $var = RegEnumKey("HKEY_USERS", $i)
    If @error <> 0 then ExitLoop
    If $var >= "S-1-5-21-1617767100-1661673603-930774774-" Then
        RegDelete("HKEY_USERS\" & $var & "Software\PATH OF YOUR CHOICE")
    EndIf

Next

An oldie but goodie, from a scripter who's the same: _RegSearch()

$avResults = _RegSearch("HKU\", "S-1-5-21-1617767100-1661673603-930774774-", 1, True)
