Editing the Registry with VBScript on Vista?

My understanding was that you could edit HKCU as a normal user, but the others were restricted. I could be wrong. Regardless, there are a couple of example here to do what you want to do.

This worked great. I used the first method, one caveat is it changes the working directory of the script. – Nick Oct 30 '08 at 14:53 Also, I was poking around in HKLM so that's probably why I needed elevation.

To make it work with native VBScript, you will most likely need a code signing certificate and sign your script with that. More info is in that thread at tek-tips.com. You could try to write the intended changes to a .

Reg file and call regedit. Exe with that. Maybe this triggers UAC.

Did not tried that, though. I have no Vista around right now. :-).

Windows XP had the capability to "Run As..." when you right-clicked a program (like the shortcut to the command line). Doesn't Vista have something like this, "Run as Administrator" or something. Do this on the command line then have them run the script from the command line?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
