I'm creating a registry key in my installation project for the install path. This works great... except that I need my string value name to be the default in the registry. So, if I look in my registry, I have (default) with no value and Path with my value. How do I fill in that (default)?

I've had a bit of a look around the net and on the forums but I've yet to find an answer to my question. I've got Visual Basic 2008 Express and I'm trying to write some registry entries, I can write strings fine just using
[Code]...
Trying to read a registry key that has a name and a value associated with it. However, the value name doesn't have a name, per say, but it does have a name of (Default).
Anyway, the following lines of code return a value of Nothing.
Dim ReadValue As Object = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue _
("RegKeyName", "(Default)", Nothing)
'Try to use "(Default)" for the name.
However, if I pass empty quotes, as the ValueName, it returns the correct value for the value name. I spent quite alot of time before even thinking of trying it with empty quotes.
Dim ReadValue As Object = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue _
("RegKeyName", "", Nothing)
'Passing empty quotes for the name.
Is passing the empty quotes the correct way of getting the values from the (Default) value names? I don't want to assume this is going to work in all occasions only to get tripped up later.
I'm trying to create a app that will add some reg keys. But I need to change the default value. How can I do it? I don't work :@

View 1 RepliesBasically the problem i have is i have made a program that creates and installs a registry key which changes default drive icons etc.
But registry key directories need double backward slashes in the directories, e.g.
What i recieve;
C:exampleicon.ico
What i need;
C:\example\icon.ico
I was thinking sending the directory i recieve to another textbox and replacing '' with '\'. Is this possible?

Oasically outlook express now uses windows search to keep a count of emails sent. Whenever you get to 100 it forces you to manually compact them.
There is however a counter in the windows registry which can simply be set back to zero. I was wondering if i could create a macro that would load on windows startup that would reset the counter automatically in the registry whenever it got past say 75.
I have an application where i need to enumerate the random subkeys under another registry key and then create a new registry value. The problem is I cannot figure out how to enumerate those values and then write my new values The key specifically is SystemCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipParametersInterfaces{NIC-id}where NIC-id is a subkey with random letters and numbers. However the caveat is if I can only write values under the NIC-id's that have IP addresses... if not that is fine too but I would prefer to only write the valus below under NIC cards that have IP addresses

I am making a file program that will store information that a user can not edit without using my file system. The only two ways I can see how to do this is to either create an invisible folder to hold the files, or make my own extension. I think it would be easier to create an invisible folder through VB if possible. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
