I'm a noob at this, basically. I have an application that has registry values and I want to reset one of them automatically. I'd prefer it to happen when the application opens but figure I'm out of luck there. Instead, I figure I'll put a registry editing utility in my startup folder to make the registry value change when Windows 2000 starts up. I obviously did something wrong. I created a file in notepad and named it:
MyHDFileOpenPath.REG
The contents of the file:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MyHD]
"FILELIST_PATH"="I:\MyHD WorkArea\"
I haven't put the file in my startup folder yet, but have double clicked it to run it. I get two popup dialogues, the first asking me if I want to run it, the second telling me that the file's instructions have been successfully applied to my registry. Of course, I don't want to have those dialogues to deal with. But the worst of it is that the value for the key FILELIST_PATH hasn't changed to the value I want in there, "="I:\MyHD WorkArea\"
So, what am I doing wrong? I've poked around in a few online sites concerning registry editing, hacks, etc. to no avail. Thanks for any help.
PS -- Do I need to create a vbs script to do this?
