#206084 - 2012-10-30 05:02 PM How to Add new value in registry
yellowdog yellowdog Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2005-06-14 Posts: 102	Hello everybody, I'm looking the command that would create a new value in a registry key. I tried the following but nothing happens. I wanted to create the value AUState (in the WindowsUpdate key) initialized to 0x00000002 Code: WriteValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpda te\AutoUpdate\","AUState","0x00000002","REG_DWORD") Thanks for the answer.

ChristopheM ChristopheM Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-05-13 Posts: 311 Loc: STRASBOURG, France	if you execute the script with administrator rights, try the following code : Code: $regkey = "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\AutoUpdate" $=WriteValue( $regkey, "AUState", 0x00000002, "REG_DWORD" ) If you write "0x00000002", this a string. So when WriteValue convert it to integer because of REG_DWORD, the result is 0. I don't think this is what you want. _________________________ Christophe

Allen Allen KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-04-19 Posts: 4563 Loc: USA	Wouldn't it just be the number and not hex? $regkey = "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\AutoUpdate" $=WriteValue( $regkey, "AUState",2, "REG_DWORD" )

Arend_ Arend_ MM club member Registered: 2005-01-17 Posts: 1896 Loc: Hilversum, The Netherlands	The problem also lies in the "Auto Update" section of the registry key. Take note that there is a space between Auto and Update. And Allen is also right, just specify the value as "2".
