WshShell.RegWrite

The RegWrite method sets the registry key or value named by strName.

Syntax

WshShell.RegWrite strName, anyValue, [strType]
 

Parameters

strName

If strName ends with a backslash character (\), this method sets the key instead of the value.

The strName parameter must begin with one of following root key names.

Short	Long
HKCU	HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKLM	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKCR	HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
	HKEY_USERS
	HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG

anyValue

The RegWrite method automatically converts anyValue to a string when strType is REG_SZ or REG_EXPAND_SZ. If strType is REG_DWORD, anyValue is converted to an integer. If strType is REG_BINARY, anyValue must be an integer.

strType

The RegWrite method supports strType as REG_SZ, REG_EXPAND_SZ, REG_DWORD and REG_BINARY. If another data type is passed as strType, RegWrite returns E_INVALIDARG.

Example

Set WshShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\ScriptEngine\Value", "Some string value"
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\ScriptEngine\Key\", 1 "REG_DWORD"
