Registry question - please help

Geo
Hi to all,

How can I create a registry key that can be deleted by
any user on the machine.

A sample code or any other reference will be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Geo

This is a C++ language newsgroup. If you have a C++ language
question, do ask. If you have a question concerning some
platform-specific issue, like Windows registry, please find
a newsgroup where that would be on topic.

I strongly recommend comp.os.ms-windows.program mer.win32

Good luck!

Victor

I see three hives: _CLASSES_ROOT, _LOCAL_MACHINE, and _USERS. I can open all but HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. When I try to expand that...

When programming reads of the Windows Registry, do the registry keys and values need to be localized for international use? For example, do I need to convert the key name L"\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows" into Japanese, Korean, etc., for use in those markets? Thanks experts!

I tried this: key.SetValue("lstNSXitems", lstNSX.Items) where "lstNSXitems" is the name of the subkey, and lstNSX.Items is the

I am wondering how I should do the loop I need (go through HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and read one subkey at a time, if it contains this 'foo' then change it into 'moo'). As I already said, I am by no means an expert in Python (heck, I learned the basics only a month ago). However, I am willing to learn.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
