Registry Write

[nowind]

Would like to set some registry settings in Macro Scheduler, most is good but when I try to write this line, it gives a error.
RegistryWriteKey>HKEY_CURRENT_USER,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders,{374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B},E:\Downloads

I believe it's because of { }, and I wonder if there is a way to do this. Have not found a solution in help or in this forum.....

Does this work?

Code: Select all

Let>BraceLert={
Let>BraceRight=}
RegistryWriteKey>HKEY_CURRENT_USER,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders,%BraceLeft%374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B%BraceRight%,E:\Downloads

Or:

Code: Select all

Let>dataToWrite={"{" + "374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B" + "}"}
RegistryWriteKey>HKEY_CURRENT_USER,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders,dataToWrite,E:\Downloads

Thanks for answers, been busy lately....

Unfortunately none of the suggestions works perfectly

The first suggestion registers %BraceLeft%374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B} in registry, (and a lot of other combinations as I tried to solve the problem). The last suggestion registers correctly, but as with all of my own efforts it generates a error message that Line 2 not appropriate, also in "run hidden" mode.... (Line2 is the RegistryWriteKey> .... line)

Been fiddeling a lot with this, without success, and I used a reg-file and ran this via the script. This works good, but I would really like to have all entries in one place.

My mistake. This works for me:

Code: Select all

Let>dataToWrite={"{" + "374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B" + "}"}
RegistryWriteKey>HKEY_CURRENT_USER,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders,dataToWrite,E:\Downloads

Thank You

Now it works, maybe I can fix some other strings like this one as well....
