I want to add a new string value to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\CabinetState\ I want to name the new string called "Search" In the value data of "search", I want to set it to "NO". is there a way which i can make a registry file that will auto set all the above just by double click on the mouse? if yes, how? i never done this before and interested to learn :D |

| 212680 | 2004-02-04 02:20:00 | You would need something like this: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\CabinetState] "Search"="NO" Just copy and paste into notepad then Save As search.reg (or whatever you want to call it as long as it has .reg on the end) I don't think there is anyway you can use this method to delete a registry key though :( |

| 212681 | 2004-02-04 02:21:00 | Use notepad and save it as a name.reg For your example, [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\CabinetState] "Search"="no" Two things....... 1/ To find out about the structure, regedit and highlight the entry, then file-save. Then look at it using notepad. 2/If you fiddle, be prepared to RELOAD windows, as some registry changes can cause you not to be able to do a restore or load Windows. It is very dangerous "adjusting" things in the registry without full knowledge of what you are doing. |

| 212682 | 2004-02-04 02:42:00 | There is also another small complication in Windows XP Registry. it basically uses version 5 reg files which are written in Unicode which uses 2 bytes for each character, hence the file header, Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00. Win9x uses version 4 reg files, hence the file heading REGEDIT 4, and these use ANSI characters with 1 byte to represent each character. Fortunately however version 4 can also be used most times except when the registry contains localised text that requires Unicode. Just thought I'd muddy the water a bit :) |

| 212683 | 2004-02-04 02:45:00 | Oh, a faint bell rang, I think Colossus, the valve computer used to crack Enigma used Unicode. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 212684 | 2004-02-04 05:13:00 | Hmm.......... getting confused with modulo 2 arithmetic which is what Colossus used (I think !). | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 212685 | 2004-02-04 05:23:00 | It didn't even use ASCII. I think those burning papertapes were 5-level. ;-) | Graham L (2) | ||
