Read/Write To Win7 Registry?
Apr 19, 2011
I have an application which reads and writes to the registry. If the programs starts, it looks if the registry keys exists. If not it create the keys. All this is working fine on a Windows XP machine.
Now we moved to Windows 7 and it is not possible to write to the keys. First I need to go to the registry and add permissions. Then it works !
Is it possible to change the permissions in the .Net code and make it able to write to the registry without changing permissions through regedit ?

I have several programs that must write to HKLM in XP and Windows 7/64 Pro.The programs work in VB6 but not in VB.Net 2008 on target machines. It does works on our development machine. [code]I just cannot figure out why VB6 works but .net doesn't and fails only on the target machine not the development machine.

I am using Visual Studio 2008 on Windows XP SP3. User has Windows 7 Pro (32 bit). The IO code below works for me. The read code works for user, but the write code only works for new files. If the user tries to overwrite a current data file, then no data is written to disk. I have done all the usual IO checking (valid file name, etc.) and have excluded it from my same code. In my app, FileSave and FileSaveAs both call WriteDataFile(FullFileName). Any reasons why FIleSave would work on Windows XP, but not on Windows 7 Pro (32 bit)?
Code:
Public Function ReadDataFile(ByVal FullFileName As String) As Integer
' reads a Data file from disk
'
' Format is a text file, with [TAB] seperators and [CR][LF] as line terminators

I was unable to find anything in my searches for XML or INI on the forum so i apologize now if this has already been asked and answered before.
I have been searching Google for days now, trying to find information on Reading and Writing XML files. I wish to use them to replace INI files in my programs.
I have been using VB6 for years now, but was able to get a copy of VB.NET 2003 really cheap and so i am trying to learn how to do the things i did in VB6 in VB.NET 2003.
I was able to find code to write to an INI file, but was not able to successfully read from an INI file with any of the code i found.
I have been able to find code to write an XML file, but when i try to update it, it replaces the old file with a new one, and the old settings are missing, instead of the new settings added to it.
i can at least start migrating to VB.NET 2003, or if you read XML and update XML data, i can switch now. Here is the code i have for writing XML.[code...]

I have looked through more old threads than I can count and I just cannot get any of the suggestions to work. I did a little poking around MSDN as well. I am trying to use the registry to enable AutoLogon on a Win7 machine through code. I can read the current value with no problem but I am running into security problems when I attempt to change AutoLogon to "1". This is what I have done so far.

I am working on a program with multiple collections related to one another for a school project. Each collection needs to have its own defined properties and have the objects written (1 per line) to a text file.
I have all of that working.
When reading the comma-separated line from the file, I want to place one of the properties of the object in a listbox (so that all the objects' names will show up in the listbox). I think I have this part figured out...
My problem is that when you click on the name in the listbox, I would like multiple text boxes to be populated with the appropriate, corresponding properties of the particular object in the collection...is there a way for this to be done?

Here's a drilled-down version of what I'm trying to do.
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim regType As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind = Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.String
Dim regKey As String = "SOFTWAREFOOBAR"
[code]....
On Windows XP, this works fine. On my Windows 7 64 machine, if I simply run the executable normally, it throws an exception - something along the lines that access to HKCUSOFTWAREFOOBAR is denied. I'm typing this from my XP machine so I don't have the exact message at the moment, but that is the gist of it.
Now, if I run the executable in administrator mode, then it works fine. The intuitive explanation is that writing to HKCU requires elevated privileges. But I've run Steam on the Win7 machine, and I'm pretty sure Steam writes to HKCU without needing elevated privileges. Just running it while logged in as an admin is enough. So, is it possible for me to write a program that creates keys in HKCU too, without needing the user to manually invoke admin mode?

The following code causes an error but should work. Any ideas? The same code (originally in REALbasic) does work so the currentuser (also an admin on the pc) does have access to write to the registry.
