VS 2008 WPF Registry Edit Auto-Start // Check Admin Privileges?
Apr 29, 2011
I'm having trouble getting my app to auto-start by adding a registry key. The problem it is having is checking if the user has admin privileges. I tried setting the thread principal, because before it would always return false when I tried My.User.IsAuthenticated, but when I check if My.User.IsInRole("Administrators"), it still returns false, even when it should return true.Here's my current code. This worked fine without even setting the thread principal when I was just creating a regular Windows Form.
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetThreadPrincipal(New Security.Principal.GenericPrincipal(New Security.Principal.GenericIdentity("UserName"), Nothing))
If My.User.IsAuthenticated Then

I am working on a application, which is more of a test, to work with the registry and autostarts.So, this is the code im using:
Public Sub RegPrep()
Try
Dim location As String = System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()(0)
[code].....
I set so the application requires administrative priviliges to run, otherwise it wouldn't work.And now, the problem is, the file "TestObject.exe" wont run on start up.What am i doing wrong?

Visual Basic 2010 - Net Framework 4.0 Client
I have an application (application #1) running with Administrator privileges on Windows 7.
I want application # 1 to start another application (application #2) without Administrator privileges so application #2 is running as a standard user.
Is there a way to do this? I have been using Process.Start.

I would like to save let's say "HKLM/SOFTWARE" into file using API. First I open the key using RegOpenKeyEx. This works fine as I see that the ReturnPointer is different from zero and differs also when I switch from "SOFTWARE" to other subkey, therefore I assume no problem there.The problem comes when I want to save into the file. It creates only a blank file with return code of 1314. I have googled for this, but only found that this error means that application has no privilege to perform the action and I need to setup "SeRestorePrivilege" & "SeBackupPrivilege" property somehow. I haven't been able to find a good VB.NET example for this and as I am very weak with APIs I wasn't able to construct one of my own, therefore I would like to ask you for advice on this.Could you please help me on how to set the privileges so that I can export/import registry?

Well on my application there is a check for update button and it needs administrative privileges in order for it to download the update (it needs to make a version change in the registry) and I don't have permission to. How can I make it so it asks for permission?

I had a post on it but i ran into the same problem. My program downloads a text file from server and checks it.
It works but it makes the program crash for 4-9 seconds.I was thinking of downloading the file more slowly or using Threading()

I know similar questions have been asked/answered, but after looking across the net for 2 days I still haven't really seen an answer to the following question.rst, background info: My application starts at windows start as a user checkbox option (by using the run key in the registry.) I don't know if it is usual or not, but when the app auto starts on windows start, no saved user settings show up on the form (but they do when starting the program manually after windows is already running). I've tried both HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. In case anyone needs or wants it, my code for accessing the registry is:
Dim Reg As Object
Reg = CreateObject("Wscript.shell")
Reg.RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMICROSOFTWINDOWSCURRENTVERSIONRUN" &

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 found this code on here to open a text fille, do a find & replace then save the changes, and the code is in a loop that will do that to every file in a given folder. My question is I also have files in sub folders, and more sub folders, and i'm not sure how deep it goes. I want to recursivly go though all the sub folders and do this to all the files, not just the files directly in the main folder.
Here is the code so far:
Code:
FolderBrowserDialog1.Description = "Select Path for files to edit"
FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog
OpenPathVariable = FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath
