Changing a registry value

WEXP · May 25th, 2004

I have a registry key with a binary data which resets the value to 900 every time I reboot, and then the program it belongs to doesn't work. I have to manually change the value to 1. How can I make it change?
I've tried making a .reg file, but it still don't work. Is there some kind of script or something I can use?

a reg file would work u prolly didnt set it right! You have to do it like this

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Name of software company\Software\Something else]
"name of key"="1"

That's what I tried, but it didn't change. I have to do it manually, which is pretty annoying.

To what program does this registry key belong?

Hum... try this WEXP! Set the value u want in regedit! After u set it! Export the reg key from regedit and try to run it!

you could write a small app that changes it, and put it in the startup-folder in the start menu. (or in "Run" in the registry) I can write a simple one for you if you want
