Change Type of (Default) Registry Value

[Yogi_Bear_79]

I'm Creating new Keys in the registry, but when I do, they always have
a Vaule called (Default) type RG_SZ. I need them to be DWord
dword:00000005

Is there a way to automaticaly make the (Default) a Dword using the
CreateSubKey method?

If not, How can I use the SetValue Method t change the Default from
RG_SZ to DWord?

I don't think you can change it's type. Why do you need that anyway?

Setting Cookies to always block for a list of sites (3500+)
The key is
[HKEY_CURRENT_US ER\Software\Mic rosoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Internet
Settings\P3P\Hi story\doublecli ck.com]
@=dword:0000000 5

The only value in these keys is default, and it's a Dword. I can get it all
to work if I use VBS & a .txt file. As VBS allows me to create the subkey
(doubleclick.co m) and it's value in one line of code.

Surely if VBS can do this C# can?

Indeed you're right, you can change the default value type. My
mistake.

Yep

string key = @"Software\Micr osoft\Windows\C urrentVersion" +
@"\Internet Settings\P3P\Hi story\doublecli ck.com";
using ( RegistryKey k = Registry.Curren tUser.OpenSubKe y( key, true ) )
k.SetValue( null, 5 );

Mattias,

It still doesn't work..
private string sSubKey =
@"Software\Micr osoft\Windows\C urrentVersion\I nternet Settings\P3P\Hi story\";

public void AddBlockCookies ()

{

foreach(string x in strBlkCookiesLs t)

{
RegistryKey Key = Registry.Curren tUser;

using (Key.CreateSubK ey(sSubKey + x +
@"\"))Key.SetVa lue(null,Conver t.ToInt32(00000 005));

Key.Close;

}

}

Also tried
using (Key.OpenSubKey (sSubKey + x +
@"\"))Key.SetVa lue(null,Conver t.ToInt32(00000 005));

But since I have to create the key first to get this to work the default
value is already created, that's why I went to the first idea.

When you create the value the type is controlled by the data type of the
value parameter.

int ii=200;
string dd="Dog";

testSettings.Se tValue("Animal" , dd); //REG_SZ
testSettings.Se tValue("ID", ii); //REG_DWORD
