I have a test registry key I created in HKLM within software called test. Within it a key called innertest. When I try to delete it says key doesn't exist.
My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.DeleteSubKeyTree("Software est")
I am using VB 2008. I believe it might have to do with not being able to access the true registry due to not running the app as an administrator. How can I force the app to run as administrator?
I have the following code in place to delete a registry key and I am getting the following error:"Cannot delete a subkey tree because the subkey does not exist".But it does exist and I can delete it manually.[code]

View 1 RepliesI'm making an application, that makes any file you choose to run at Windows startup.I add the value "HKEY_LOCAL_ MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun" with a button and all is perfect, I reboot the pc and the file runs properly. But the problem is, in the application I also include a button to delete this value, but the test button tells me that there is no value. I use
"Registry.LocalMachine.DeleteValue(ComboBox1.SelectedItem)". Also I try
"Registry.LocalMachine.DeleteValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun " + ComboBox1.SelectedItem) but what it does is try to delete a value with that name, and don't go to that key and delete the value.
i am trying to delete a key from the registery but i cant seem to get it correct.
My code looks like this:

View 1 Repliesi made this Reg key with this code.
Registry.SetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareapp", "Sample", "001010101")
I'm trying to delete the Name of the Key and the value only with this
My.Computer.Registry.CurrentUser.DeleteValue("Softwareapp")
But i think this will delete the folder and not only one key Do you know a code that would only delete
"HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareapp", "Sample", "001010101")

I have problems about USB device drivers: I can see the driver correctly installed but application says device is not present.
I solved using Regedit:
in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetEnumUSB
I have to manually delete the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetEnumUSBVid_04d8&Pid_8001
with all subkeys.
I've seen there are several examples managing registry keys using vb, but I can't understand how detect if the key is present and how delete it.

View 5 RepliesI am trying to code a delete button for a browsing program based on data from a txt file. I have coded the buttons to sort(ascending and descending), append to the text file, search the text file, but I can not seem to get the delete function working. I am using VB 2010, this is what I have so far:
Code:
Dim deleline As String
Dim line As String
Dim isFound As Boolean = False
sr4 = IO.File.OpenText("Students.txt")

I have a project where you type something then it looks through a text file for what you typed. I would then like to make a way to edit the text file once I find what I'm looking for. So, how do you delete text from a .txt file that you are searching through? Also, how do you re-write in that place you just deleted the text from?

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.
View 1 RepliesI 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 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)
