Write a DWORD value in regedit by Noixe on 07-22-2008 at 07:11 PM

Hello,

how can I write a DWORD value in the register of windows?

I try:

new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell').RegWrite(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + Messenger.MyEmail + "\\MyKey", "dword:00000006");

but it create a string value.

Thanks

Because
1) You entered a string (notice the quotes you used)
2) You have the parameters all wrong

Though, I'm not going to spoonfeed you as this is very basic scripting.
Instead I suggest you check out the Windows Scripting helpfile > Index > RegWrite method.

It gives you a detailed description, including an example.

PS: Plus! scripting is done in JScript

Ok, I have find solution

Try this:

code:
new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").RegWrite(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + Messenger.MyEmail + "\\MyKey",6,"REG_DWORD");

The first parameter of RegWrite is the key to write to, in this case MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath\Your@email.com\MyKey

The second parameter is the actual value, in this case 6

The third is the type you want to write, a DWORD.

Hope this helped you

Thanks,

I don't knew the third parameter :-)

I posted that for a reason..... :dodgy:

I STRONGLY suggest you check out help files in the futur instead of copy/pasting code...

I know the mean of that instruction, it's not a simply "copy and paste". However I have visited the link... but I must install SilverLight?

Apparently you didn't knew the RegWrite method that well, according to your first post and this post...

errr.... what??? Now you've lost me I'm afraid

.... You don't need SilverLight for anything...

You just need to download the Windows Scripting Documentation helpfile, open it up, and search for the function you want some info on.

PS: what you might need to do is proof that your Windows version is genuine by installing the the small Windows Genuine Advantage plug-in, or as an alternative, by running the GenuineCheck program (so you don't even need to install anything), before you download the help file. Nothing todo with SilverLight though.

The site asked to install a ActiveX and it carried me to the page of SilverLight.

Moreover it ask a test to see if windows is original…

Can you send me the chm file?

If you can't, I will search the guide on emule.

Thanks
