REG_DWORD value not an integer? Help!!

[DavidP]

Hello,
I am trying to use VBScript to set an entry in the registry. Here is a
snippet of what I am trying to do:

WshShell.RegWrite "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Powerpoint.Show.8\BrowserFlags" , "a"
,"REG_DWORD"

Problem is that this doesn't work unless I change the "a" to a number. I'm
assuming that you can only use integers for REG_DWORD values in VBScript.
How can I set a value in the registry which is a REG_DWORD but not an integer.

Thanks,
David

Correct.

How can I set a value in the registry which is a REG_DWORD but not an integer.

"a" is just the hexadecimal representation of the number 10, so simply
specify 10 instead.
