GAW GAW Fresh Scripter Registered: 2010-02-16 Posts: 20 Loc: Tennessee	Can someone tell me what I am missing from this simple code... I get no error message but no change either. On Win7 32bit with Java 7.71 $HKLMS='HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\' ;Disable Java Auto Update $rc = WRITEVALUE($HKLMS + "JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy", "EnableJavaUpdate", "0", "REG_DWORD") ; Edited by GAW (2015-01-28 06:33 PM)

So it's not the code itself. Code: $nul = setoption("WOW64AlternateRegView", "on") $HKLMS='HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\' ;Disable Java Auto Update $rc = WRITEVALUE($HKLMS + "JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy", "EnableJavaUpdate", "0", "REG_DWORD")

GAW GAW Fresh Scripter Registered: 2010-02-16 Posts: 20 Loc: Tennessee	Thanks for the Validation on the code. If I use @ERROR it does say "The operation Completed Successfully.0" So I know it is running the code,but when I go in and look at the registry after running it is still set to 1. I can manually change it on the PC no problems...
