how to open regedit with a certain subkey open when you click on a button for example when I click the button it will start regedit in
Hkey_local_machine
Software instead of opening at default Code to open regedit is

View 2 RepliesI have a little utility that everybody in our office uses on XP. This utility runs under our standard, non-Admin user profiles...and, where necessary, provides our Admin credentials to do things like connect to a remote computer, assign and take away rights, modify the registry, etc...I had added code to start the Registry Editor and the MMC....and it works fine....in XP. In Vista, that is an entirely different story.I've run into "Invalid Directory" errors and "Elevation Required" errors.What I have is :
Dim mypass As New System.Security.SecureString
Dim myprocessinfo As New ProcessStartInfo
myprocessinfo.UseShellExecute = False ' MUST be set to FALSE to work

I have Windows XP Pro, SP3 on a Dell Dimension 9150 with VB 3.0 and all other Visual Studios up to and including VS2010 Pro.I'm not exactly an expert VB programmer, but I have written several different programs.I would like to write a VB program to run in the background and detect when the program regedit.exe/regedt32.exe tries to run.Once the regedit program tries to run, I would like my background program to pop up a message with three options. Allow, Do Not Allow and Cancel.
The Allow button would allow regedit to run.The Don't Allow button will not allow regedit to run and continue to run in the background. The Cancel button would not allow regedit to run and would cancel the background program.Can this be done?I would explain why I want to do this, but it would take too much of this thread. However, if anybody really needs to know, I will accommodate their request.
I try to read a registry key from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE that I created with Regedit.I can read a key that already exists. I can't read the key I created.VS2010, Win 7 64-bits, target CPU x86 (ultimately this wil be used in a shared-addin for Office 2010) but CPU x64 gives same result
Dim mystring As String = ""
Dim mykey As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("software", RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadSubTree)
'Dim mykey2 As RegistryKey = mykey.OpenSubKey("testa", RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadSubTree)
[code]....
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.
Way to load regedit values/keys to a listbox or listview
View 10 RepliesI have 26 buttons on my form (each a letter of the alphabet) i want to press a button lets say Z and that it then changes the relevant registry key value of 0 to 1 representing the button has already been clicked (these a-z buttons are to be compared with on/ off switches). This way if I start my program up again the values in the regedit will "memorise" wich buttons were turned on and wich were turned off in our previous program session.
Ultimately the buttons turned off should always appear as red until switched onagain
Dose anybody know how to achive this?

I have been googling this and have not come along a working solution for an entire day. I don't know anything about binary data types (as I've never knowingly used them) and I'm trying to write a binary value that I see in the registry, to the registry. Now, all I see is the following [shown below]... and if I try to pass that as a string to the RegSetValueEx in the WinAPI and of course it errors out...
I do not know what 'numbers' I need to pass into the lpData As Any, argument of RegSetValueEx (i tried a bit array) in order for it to come out as the following [shown below] in the regedit. I really have no idea, and my tests to place random numbers in the bit array just produce corresponding random "figures" as visible in regedit that I do not understand how to 'tie' them together logically. here is the culprit!

Okay so here's the question how do I get the links that open in a new window to open in my main webbrowser control. The above code does some, but it's not fool proof.
I want to open up an existing instance if my program is already running only if its running the same version.I noticed that this question was asked for only if the name exists, but what if the version is older, I just want to notify the user that an older version is still running, "please remove older version before starting this version."The other link is this one:Return to an already open application when a user tries to open a new instance but they don't talk about closing an instance if an older or newer version is detected.

I saved a file with the extension .doc. I use the RichText to write and save the text. I did not set any encoding type when I saved it.

How do I open and re-open a .doc file in the Rich Text box control without the formatting showing up in the box with the document contents?
