Searching For Subfolders In Registry
Aug 17, 2010
I'm trying to:
Check for any unused data in the registry relating to MS Loop Back Adapters and remove it
Install New MS Loop Back Adapter
Remove some of its bindings
Remove the Show Icon
Adjust the order of the network adapters
The issue I am having is finding a way to search all sub folders with in a certain folder in the registry. This is the code I have so far
Dim x As Integer
Dim NetworkAdapterLoc As String = "SYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlNetwork{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}"
'{1535ADE9-7E74-4508-951F-30F23A29B5A4}" - This is on of the subfolders I want to look in on my machine
Dim RegKey As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey = My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(NetworkAdapterLoc)
[Code] .....
I even tried to replace the
MSLoopLocKey = RegKey.OpenSubKey(subname(x))
with this
MSLoopLocKey = RegKey.OpenSubKey(NetworkAdapterLoc & "" & subname(x))
But in either case I just seem to list the sub folders I actually want to be searching. A lot of the tasks I want to accomplish with my application will require me to search through multiple sub folders in the registry and either modify the data in a key or remove the entire folder.

I am trying to creat a program to automate many of the things I do when I build a computer. I was attempting to do this via batch files but got stuck when I needed to search the registry for cetain keys and delete the parrent folder in which it resides in.
For instance: Installing a MS Loop Back Adapter I found a utility that works at the command promt called DEVCON that will allow me to install a MS Loop Back Adapter. I was doing this through a batch file but found that I can call the utility through VB and get the same result (of course I still need to have the DEVCON.exe)

I have two folders at different locations but with the same name. A file is generated in one of the folders and it is to be copied to the other folder but without overwriting the existing contents in C#.File.Copy overwrites the contents which makes me lose the previous contents. Is it possible to merge the contents in the folder?

I'm trying to search a folder and it's sub folders for a file and add those files to a datagridview. I think the code I have is right but I need to get some of the files info, like the name and what not. since I've tweaked it it doesn't work.

I'm not really much of a programmer, so I was hoping I could get a little assistance with a simple task.
Quite simply, all I want to do is create a small program that creates a new folder on my C drive, and inside that folder, I want to generate 99 subfolders, named 01-99. I want to be able to input the name of the new folder, click a button, and then voila99 subfolders inside it. That's all I need.
I am pretty good at creating forms, and I already have an idea of how to design it, but the code, nahhh. Thirty years ago, I could probably come up with a for-next loop, but not today.Would anyone be willing to provide a snippet of code that might do this? PS: If anyone is wondering why the heck I need 99 subfolders in a folder, here's why I have a car stereo that supports USB flash drives. I have a 16 GB flash drive, but the car stereo only recognizes 99 folders. There are far, far more than 99 folders on the flash drive, so I have to consolidate them. That's it.

I am in a dilemma really, am trying to achieve something which am doing very wrong, though the idea is present. I am trying to a move subfolders within a folder from the server the application is running to another server.
[Code]...
1) myFile - reads files and NOT FOLDERS. This has to move folders instead.
2) ("fi.MoveTo ('destination')", - is not a sqlcommand and its not practically correct. If I ran it as it is, receive teh error message Sqlexception was unhandled. Incorrect syntax near 'destination'

I have a program that copies files listed in an excel file and adds two columns together to rename the file when it is copied. This all works perfect. What I am having difficulty with is when the files are copied and renamed - I can't get it to find files in subfolders and copy them also. I have a text file that is created letting me know what files were not copied and the subfolder files are always on there?

I have an excel sheet with two columns. One column is the name of a file and the other column is a name that will be added to the filename once the file has been copied.
Example:
Column B = test.tif
Column A = find
The result will be = find_test.tif once the file has been copied and renamed......
All is good, however, it appears my program is not looking in subfolders and only in the main directory folder for the images.
What I have so far for the copy portion:
'copy the files specified in column 1 of the first sheet of the Excel workbook
'from the folder given by txtSrce to the folder given by txtDest
Dim xls As New Excel.Application

I've tried searching for a way to get a list of all files + all files in all subdirs. I've tried a simple shell("dir /s /b > myfile.txt") but it doesn't work because of some Danish specific characters. I have looked at the "getfiles" method, but I can't get it to work

When a cell in column A changes, run a macro that will search for a file at a certain folder path (including sub folders) containing what was entered into column A. It will then open that file, copy items into the rows beside where the information was entered. So far I cannot get the search for the file to open the workbook. Microsoft runtime script is included in the references.
Here is what I have so far. Which is not working except for the first sub.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change (By Val Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 1 Then
ActiveCell.Offset(-1,0).Select Then

this is the code i have on form load: textbox1.text ="C:Documents and SettingsOwnerDesktop"
here's the code to load the listbox:
ListBox1.Items.Clear()
Dim filepath As String = (textbox1.text)
My.Application.DoEvents()
Try
For Each file As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles _

now what this does is load the files w/out the file path or extensions , but, it loads the files in the subfolders as well . i just need the desktop files to load in the listbox, not the subfolder files

I wrote a Windows Forms script that searched for all non-hidden and non-readonly folders in my system. But the script itself, when run initially, runs for like 5 minutes. Subsequent opens take much less time. I was wondering if there is a logical error to it, so as to why its running so very slow.
