Deleting A Registry Value?
Apr 20, 2011
I have this code which should make my application start on startup or stop it from starting on startup depending on whether a checkbox is checked or not:
If MnuItemAutoStart.Checked = True Then
My.Settings.Startup = True
'This code all works fine, it creates the registry key like clockwork
Dim oReg As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine
[code]....
I have tried running the program as administrator, using a different registry value, turning off all of my antivirus & firewalls and loads of other stuff. The strange thing is that I can delete the registry key in regedit, or any other program, it's just my program won't do it. It works on another program with exactly the same code (same startup code, different program).

I have been looking for ages trying to find a way to delete a registry key in vb.net - This works: My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.DeleteSubKey
But my problem is that the key I want to delete has a different name on every computer. I.E. "KL Deployment Wrapper5444789417547544987"
I have played arround with: My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.GetSubKeyNames.Find

I need to delete a registry string value.The registry string value that I'm trying to delete is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftMSDN SetupDefaultSet
I've tried googling for results, but none of the sample scrips I have located have done the trick.They all seem to throw a bunch of errors in Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.

I have access to VS 2010 through work and I'm having a bit of a play. I'm trying to create a small program to show the installed software from GP and have the ability to delete a selected registry key from a list. Am using a checked list box and 2 buttons. Also have 2 labels on the form but just using them as a visual check as to what the string says.
The program starts alright and gives the list of installed software from Group Policy. I'm having the problem deleting the ticked item. Here is the code I'm using. I think the problem is when it comes to the .deletesubkey line and what I have entered. I want it to delete the selected item rather than have the specific key name entered.
Imports Microsoft.Win32

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

I have program that on first run will run after installed will setup a server connection. The next times the program is run it will not execute this code to setup the server as it was done in the first run.
I can't use clickOnce IsFirstRun as the customer doesn't want that used for installation.I am using MSI to create the setup. I right click setup / view / Registry. I create a key value, example "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareReality", "App", "Installed"I set the property AlwaysCreate = false, and DeleteAtUninstall = true.
My big question I don't want to create the key value when the application is first installed. Only delete it when uninstalled.My code for checking for the key value:
Code:If (My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareReality", "App", Nothing) <> "Installed") Then 'The program is running for the first time so create key value My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareRealitySolutions", "CodeRed", "Installed") 'Setup server for the fist time Else 'The key exists so go no need to setup the server'Do something else End If
The key value deletes on the uninstalled - which is what i want it to do. However, it always creates the key value when installed. i don't want it to do this. It should only create the key value in the code.Can any tell me, when setting up the registry in the setup project, is there a way to stop it from creating the key value when the program is installed.

I know that Deleting a specific line in a sequential text file is impossible but instead copy the needed lines and not copying the unneeded ones to an output file .. killing the old one and renaming the new one with the same.. I can't make this step...
That is my record file
Code:
Input #1, CustomerName, CustomerHomeAddress, CustomerBussAddress, CustomerTel1, CustomerMob1, CustomerID, DateRent, CarRegPin
Code:
"Josek Sam","68 West Land Street","149 Union of States","4524563","45635463","JOSKSAM1",#2009-03-02#,"MILANCGLZ2008"
"Josef Malm","142 Unions Street","64 Hamersters Street","452504","42542054","JOSFMALM2",#2009-03-06#,"MILANCGLZ2008"
"Dave Green","131 Oxford Street","96 BlueBane Route","452542452","43254345","DAVGRN3",#2009-03-07#,"MILANCGLZ2008"
I made a form that when you put your CustomerID in Text3 Box.. it access the records and make some calculations. now.. The customer will return the car.. Then his data should be deleted.. I want to know how to make that when I enter the CustomerID and press on the Command button .. It copies the other lines to a new output folder and doesn't copy these ... So it appears to be deleted using this way..

Currently, I am try to get the email addresses that have been saved or stored by the user of the computer. This isn't the emails that the user has sent or received, or the contacts he/she has in his address book. Just simply the email accounts that have been accessed from the computer.I know that there are some locations stored in the registry that have the email account. The email addresses that are used on the current computer. I just can't seem to find them on my computer.I am not sure if the registry is the only place to find it or if it stored on the web browser such as internet explorer or google chrome.

I am writing an application that connects to a specific com port. This com port can change depending on how many physical ports are on the PC, and if other USB devices have installed com ports before this one.
I have the communication to the com port all working great, but I need to get the com port description not just the "COM#" which is all I currently get.
I found in the registry where the description is stored but am having trouble doing what I need.
In this key:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001ControlClass{4D36E978-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
there is a varied number of sub keys. The are numbered 0000-NNNN depending on how many ports you have. Inside each of these keys, there are multiple values, although I am only interested in one or 2 of them.
My problem is, that I do not know how to get a list of the subkeys (the 0000-NNNN keys/folders) from the original key I posted. I have looked through a few registry tutorials, and I can view the default value in the listed key, but I could not find how to list the subkeys of the listed key.
Does anyone have any sample code they could share that shows how I can get a listing of subkeys, and then run through those subkeys checking for a specific value in one of the strings contained in the subkey?
I am using VB.net 2008 and Windows XP.

I just bet the answer to this question already exists, however I saw no search mechanism under the forum. Anyhow, I would like to change registry data, and this code is asking for an instance to the object.
Dim RegKey As RegistryKey = My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwa reAnyDWGSoftwareDWGtoPDFProSettings", True)
RegKey.SetValue("OutputPDFFileOpt", 1)
Finally, I want to apply this setting to the program on four different computers (local, and three others on the network).

I wrote an application to manage several installers and I wanted to throw in some registry settings as well. Unfortunately the following code is not writing to the registry, nor is it returning any exceptions.I'm running Visual Basic 2010 Express as administrator using Windows 7 64 bit, I can manually add the values, and I can add them from a .reg file manually but not even by calling the .reg file as a new process (it asks for permission, says it succeeded, but nothing changed).The key already exists, all I need to do is add two values.
My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWAREMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMAINFeatureControlFEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION", True)
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMAINFeatureControlFEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION", "uwgm_client.exe", 32768, Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.DWord)[code].....

I created a time clock program for a friends business and I added a place for them to use pictures for the employee. It uses the employee number to grab the photos from a folder and displays it (ex. employee #1 would like for 1.jpg). I want to let them change the picture without going to that folder, delete the old one, copy the new one and then rename it. I also let it have a default photo (theres 2, one for females and one for males, which are matched by there gender) just in case they haven't had a photo added yet. My trouble is, if I try to update the photo and delete the old photo, I get an error saying its in use by another process. My code goes like this, check to see if the employee has a photo, if it does, it will delete that photo (this is where I get the error), copy the new photo (already selected in previous code) and then sets the photo. how to release the photo from the project before I delete?

I'm building out a decommissioning application that will allow an individual to provide an computer name and the utility will go out and purge the computer record from various locations. I'm running into a problem when attempting to delete a computer account from Active Directory. I'm impersonating a service account that only has rights to "Delete All Child Objects" within a particular OU structure. The code below works if I run it with my domain admin account; however fails with an "Access Denied" when I run it with the impersonated service account. I have verified that the permissions are correct within AD as I can launch Active Directory Users and Computers using a "runas" and providing the service account credentials and I can delete computer objects perfectly fine.
Wondering if anyone has run into this before or has a different way to code this while still utilizing my current OU permissions. My gut tells me the "DeleteTree" method is doing more then just deleting the object.
Sub Main()
Dim strAsset As String = "computer9002"
Dim strADUsername As String = "serviceaccount@domain.com"
