Would anyone know how to edit the registry using a Messenger Plus! Live script? I can do it with Visual Basic .NET but it would help if someone told me how to write it in a script.

Thanks in advance.

Shell.RegWrite(ValRegPath, 1);

//Read the value
var EnableOpt = Shell.RegRead(ValRegPath);
Debug.Trace("EnableOpt current value: " + EnableOpt);

Thank you.

If by manual you mean scripting documentation, i'll do that.

Tried to use this script but with a function to read & write.
Write works great, but reads gives an error.
If I try the Debug.Trace it works, but return doesn't.
(PS. Taken the script from another post, copied and it doesn't work).

code:

---

function ReadRegistry(key)
{
var Shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
return value = Shell.RegRead(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + key);
}

From the Scripting Documentation
A string containing the path to the script's registry key. The path begins with "HKCU\" to designate the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key and ends with a backslash.

Sorry Cookie, but Plus gives you a Registry path ending with a backslash.

yeah, thought about the "return value = ..." thing...
I tried to play with it for over a hour and didn't succeed.
It works perfectly with Debug.Trace, so the problem is that it refuses to return the value.
Do I need to set the type of the return value or something?

BTW, tried to put it in value and "return value", tried just "return  Shell.Reg...", nothing works.

hmm, didn't tried to put it as a code in the orginal function and not in a separate function, but I use it too many times so it will be annoying and won't look nice...

Can't check it now, back to good old 7.5
Is it just me or WML doesn't seems so user-friendly (visually) like MSNM?

This is what I use for Screenshot Sender 4. If  you choose to keep the script you must keep the header regardless if you change the file or not.

This script is going to be apart of the snippets that will be available on http://mpscripts.net

For now its hosted on my server.

Note : If there are any errors with it please PM me. As well I am going to be changing the functions around a bit so I will update the file on my server and the latest one will be on http://mpscripts.net when we get enough snippets made.

This script is completely different from the one mentioned here.
Dunno if ur script work, as I said before I can't check it now.
I prefer something simple and easy...
Ne1 know how to fix the ReadRegistry function?

The proper syntax for a "return" statement is:
    return <variable>;

and "value = Shell.RegRead(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + key)" is not a value but a statement on its own. So either you do:

    var value = Shell.RegRead(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + key);
    return value;

or simply:

    return Shell.RegRead(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + key);

What is the error code that you get?

And what code do you use exactly?

Only thing I can think of is that the key doesn't excist...

Have you tried the script I posted? Just save it to a seperate JS file then call its function.

I posted it for a reason I know it works cause I actually use it.

I checked it exists.
It works okay with Debug.Trace but return doesn't.
Also I checked with regedit, it's there.
