Editing Registry With VB?
Oct 15, 2011
I'm just familiarising myself to edit registry in VB. I am having a problem with changing a value in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key. When ever I change a value at runtime it always assumes that I am going in the "Wow6432Node" key, even though I don't put that in the parenthesis. Example:
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvancedFolderHiddenSHOWALL", "CheckedValue", 1) and it doesn't change the value in the string above, but changes it as if I have put

I'm trying to create a text box that sends information to the registry. As an example, the user types "Value1" into the text box, and presses OK. The value in the text box (aka "Value1") goes to:
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\TestKey",
"TestKey", "Value1")

Can VB 2008 use the system variable %1 that contains what filename a program was opened with? I am making a new app that when you click a .exe file and select the right option, it will edit the registry but I need to be able to keep the filename that I right clicked on so that I know what registry value to edit, is this possible?

What im trying to achieve is editing the value of this key; But I've tried everything i can think of.. I've tried just entering the name and type etc. but nothing..I've decalred:
Imports Microsoft.Win32
and the code im attempting to use:
Dim regKey As RegistryKey
[code]....
What i want it to do is create a key from the Drive Selection box i.e. 'H' then create two sub keys called 'DefaultIcon' and 'DefaultLabel' and assign values to their (Default) key but its not working.

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].....

If the value is found then the above message is fine, but if the entry is not found I want it to display a message like: "Firefox could not be found" instead of "The value is: " What code would make this appear?

I'm working on a piece of code at the moment that uses an older style DataGrid to allow the user to enter information into the table. It already has an add and delete button. Currently the user enters information into 3 textboxes that are in the footer, and the other rows use labels to display the information.
Essentially what I am wanting to do is take the line that the user has clicked the edit button on, and move the text from there in to the footer (deleteing the row that it was displayed on) so the user can make changes and then click the add button again. At the moment I have tried using FindControls to find the textbox and setting the text that way but it doesnt like it.

I would like to know a way (of course I want to know the best way) to edit a csv file, preferably without having to read the original and write the results to a new one.
Example 1: I want to split the contents of a column into two columns 123abc into 123, abc
Example 2: I want to remove letters from the beginning of a column AB123 into 123
Clarification: I do not need help solving my examples; I just need to be pointed in the right direction of reading and editing the same file.Here is a code example of using a temporary file that seems to me is too slow
Dim currentLine as string()
tempFile.AutoFlush = True
Do Until origFile.EndOfData
