			Method: WshShell.RegWrite WshShell.RegWrite strName, varValue [,strType] The RegWrite method writes either a key or a value to the registry based on strName. If strName ends with a backslash (\), then RegWrite writes varValue to the registry as a key. Otherwise it writes varValue to the registry as a value. The strName parameter must begins with one of the following root key names: HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKCU HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKLM HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT or HKCR HKEY_USERS HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG Supported values for strType are "REG_SZ", "REG_EXPAND_SZ", "REG_DWORD", and "REG_BINARY". If any other data type is passed as strType, RegWrite returns E_INVALIDARG. If strType is "REG_SZ" or "REG_EXPAND_SZ", then varValue is automatically converted to a string. If strType is "REG_DWORD", varValue is converted to an integer. If strType is "REG_BINARY", then varValue must be an integer. The following VBScript code writes a key/value pair into the registry, reads and displays their content, and finally removes them from the registry. Code: Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\MyNewKey\", 1 ,"REG_DWORD" WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\MyNewKey\MyValue", "Hello world!" WScript.Echo WshShell.RegRead("HKCU\MyNewKey\MyValue") WScript.Echo WshShell.RegRead("HKCU\MyNewKey\") WshShell.RegDelete "HKCU\MyNewKey\MyValue" WshShell.RegDelete "HKCU\MyNewKey\" Output: Hello World! 1
