The main login script :

code:

---

; Here is a subroutine that can copy move or rename
; a registry key. The whole thing is based on the
; "enumkeys.kix" (thanks Shawn !) script file that comes
; with the kixtart distribution.
; 
; In order this subroutine to work you have first to
; define The $source_key, $destination_key, and $action
; $action can be : "move", "rename", or "copy"
;
; This script comes in two parts. The main script
; "main.kix" is actually your script and can have
; any name. Be carefull to place the "tree.kix" at the
; same directory as "main.kix"

$source_key      = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\TEST"
$destination_key = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TEST2"
$action		 = "move"

The "tree.kix"

code:

---

; Do not edit this file !!! It is used by the main script
; in order to extract the right registry values and keys.
; Place it to the same directory where your main script is
; and do not change its name. Basically it is the same
; script that comes with kixtart distribution "enumkeys.kix"
; changed a little bit in order to perform what I wanna to do.

break on
DIM $k, $SaveKey
if $key="" $key=$source_key endif
$k=0
$SubKey = enumkey($key,$k)
while @error=0
	$SaveKey=$key
	$key	=$key + "\" + $subkey
		
	$work_key=$destination_key+substr($key,$zz+1,len($key)-$zz)
	$nul=addkey("$work_key")
CALL tree.kix
$key = $SaveKey
		if @ERROR = 0
		; try for next subkey
		$k=$k+1
		$subkey = enumkey( $key , $k )
		endif

; Lastly, enumerate all values of current key
$k = 0
	$Value = EnumValue( $key , $k )
	while @error=0
	$work_key=$destination_key+substr($key,$zz+1,len($key)-$zz)
	$nul=writevalue("$work_key","$Value",readvalue("$key","$Value"),readtype("$key","$Value"))
   	$k =$k+1
   	$Value = EnumValue( $key , $k )
	loop

I've seen numerous posts asking if it's possible to "rename" registry keys - at last we can point them to this gem !

Shawn.

I've added the following line just before the exit 0 command:

code:

---

$key=""
