I am trying to write an app to automate several things that I have to do on a new computer once I have deployed an image, hoping someone could give me some pointers for them:-
1) changing computer description - wmi perhaps?
2) changing computer name - again wmi perhaps?
3) changing permissions on an existing registry key to full control
4) changing the "time to display list of operating systems" when booting from 30 secs to 3
5) turn off simple file sharing
6) and setting current user account so that password doesn't expire - at moment I do it from cmd prompt and do "wmic useraccount where "name='name'" set passwordexpires = false
7) change power plan settings so put the computer to sleep is "never" on both battery and mains
On an xp system using VB 2008 exprees, I'm trying to write code which will change a file's permisions when run from a non admin account. To do this I need to now how to run the code as an administrator. I've got the code to change permissions working, I just don't know how to run it with an administrator's credentials. The code is:
Imports System.IO Imports System.Security.AccessControl Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
I'm am developing a program for my computer and as I am using Windows 7 i have to execute it as admin every time I open my program. My IT teacher said I could set my program's permissions to 1, doing this the program would have admin privileges. But the thing is I don't know how to do it.
my program read and writes into registry and has been working fine, until today when i tested it on a new server i got this error request for the permission of type system.security.permissions. registryPermissions, mscorlib,version=2.0.0.0. i checked the registry permission and made sure all allows are ticked.

I am trying to create a function that will return a pen(System.Drawing.Pen to be exact) that will have a random color and width. I thought that something like this should do the trick:
Public Function random_pen() As Pen
Dim clr As Color = Color.FromArgb(255, random_rgb_color_gen, random_rgb_color_gen, random_rgb_color_gen) Dim pn As Pen = Pens.PeachPuff 'just a random color else i get a null exception... pn.Color = clr ' the error is here
[Code].....
However when the code is run i get an Argument Exception with the error message:"System.ArgumentException was unhandled Message="Changes cannot be made to Pen because permissions are not valid.""
I am using net 2010 net framework 2 & w7 In windows explorer I want to move or rename a file but I get a windows message with a heading "File Access Denied" you need administrator permission to do this In my vb code I want to move the same file but get an error, the security on the file is "Read & execute" and "Read" How do I detect this before the code for moving & also set the permissions so I can move it with vb code.
I need to change a value which is stored under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREAPP_NAME. It is not possible to use .NET's registry functions, since they have drastic restrictions. [Code] Unfortunately, I get a NullReferenceExeption when I try to set the value. What should I do? I have imported Microsoft.Win32 and RegistryKey doesn't accept any constructor.

I've designed a project containing of some forms. The problem is that it doesn't display correctly on wide monitors. I've searched for it and found out that it works correctly for dpi= 96. I wanna change dpi via registry in vb.net (not manually)Here is the code I use:
Dim dpi As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics If (dpi.DpiX <> 96 And dpi.DpiY <> 96) Then Dim DPISetting As RegistryKey =
We have a VBScript that launches an Access app that connects via ODBC to SQL Server - wouldn't you know the server name is changing.
Is it possible to use VBScript to modify the ODBC information in the registry to point to the new server? Basically changing one specific value for one specific key. Am I better off deleteing the ODBC key and readding it from scratch?

I am working on a app that will monitor the registry for changes to [ProviderOrder] in [SYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlNetworkProviderOrder].
I have it 90% done with this Imports System.Management Imports Microsoft.Win32 Module Module1 Dim Watcher As ManagementEventWatcher Dim Hive As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine [Code] .....
If I change [ProviderOrder.test] the app tells me the value was changed and corrects it. But it does the correction twice (because of UpdateProviderOrder changing the value). I thought that using RemoveHandler and AddHandler would take of that.

I am trying to change the path of Service ImagePath value in registry just after installation. Unfortunately my change path becomes only single letter in registry.[code]Source code for changing the ServiceConfig taken from codeproject.
I'm trying to write a console application that can modify registry subkeys on remote pc's in the same network. I have it working in my own environment but when I install on the customer machines I'm getting unauthorized access when it hits the OpenRemoteBaseKey. The security settings in the application properties is set to full trust application so I'm not sure why it won't work.
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and first I just installed it on the customer machine and when it wouldn't work I ran the source code in Visual Studio 2005 which is on the customer machine but got same results.I can run the app directly on the remote machine and it will change the registry subkeys as directed, I just can't do it remotely. RemoteRegistry service is started. Both machines are logged in as administrators.
Here is the source code:
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic Imports System Imports System.IO Imports System.Security.Permissions
building a program at the moment that changes registry entries to turn on and change, and off proxy settings. This small program is going to be dropped on each persons desktop so they can easily turn on the proxy in work, and turn it off when they take their laptop home.
However, the proxy address changes depending on which company I am at. I would like to be able to make a single program, but have a "hidden" setting to change the proxy and store it in the program, and push a copy of the file out across the network to each machine. I tried to make it so the proxy address can be saved as a string in My.Settings, but it would have to be made as a User setting rather than an application setting to give it read-write access.The only other option I can think of is to hard-code the proxy address into the program, which really isn't ideal
I couldn't find an appropriate forum which would suit the type of problem I am facing so I am putting it here.I needed to create an intranet web application that has pages with hyperlinks to eml files. The eml files as is known are email files in MIME format which outlook express can open. However what I found was if eml files are on your machine, it opens in outlook express but when opened as an hyperlink, it opens in Internet Explorer (IE) as an mhtml file. And any attachments that may be in the eml file are not displayed at all!I didn't understand why IE has to poke inbetween. After searching the net, I came across a solution that required changes in the Registry of the client machine.The change is to be made to the node HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTMIMEDatabaseContent Typemessage/rfc822.The following is a REG file that can be imported for this change.[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTMIMEDatabaseContent ypemessage/rfc822]"extension"=".eml""CLSID"=""However after this change, though eml files opened in Outlook express, MHT files stopped opening in IE.Then I simply deleted the rfc822 node and to my surprise, MHT files opened in IE and eml files opened in outlook express and everything was fine!!But I don't want to use this sledge hammer solution. I want to know what this registry key is for and how can I set it to achieve what I want . i.e. open eml files from web pages in outlook express without affecting other file types
