WSH » wshshell » RegWrite
- Syntax:
- WshShell.RegWrite (strName, varValue [,strType])
- varValue
- 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.
- strType
- 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.
The RegWrite method writes a new entry into the registry.
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
Examples
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!
