Hi Mark,

 

I have found it very tedious searching for keys; you just have to go through
the lot, I think, as I don't think you can use wild characters with the find
command. I am not a registry expert though.

 

Hth,

 

Mike

Subject: [access-uk] Locating a registry key

 

Hi guys,

 

I'm trying to locate a registry key in order to copy it's shortcut. I'm
reading a book on VBScript, and one of the exercises is to assign a variable
to a particular key. The key in question is:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Logon
User Name". I've located everything up until \Explorer, but can't locate the
final key. There are also other keys similar to this, but I thought if I
could sort the one out the rest would answer themselves.

 

Playing with Regedit is something I don't like doing for obvious reasons.
Only I thought I'd try and understand this now before I went any further.

 

Mark
