Registry Edit
 

Hi,

I use thefollowing code to Disable the UAC in windows Vista through registry access

KeyFound = myReg.UpdateKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System", "EnableLUA", "0")

it changes the "EnableLUA" value to "0" but the problem is
it changes the Type REG_DWORD to REG_SZ

i need REG_DWORD type remains the same...

is anybody there to say how to set the Type as REG_DWORD

Thanks in advance

Re: Registry Edit
 

It appears that UpdateKey is something of your own doing -- I can't find it in any of the VB6 documentation.

Thanks in advance

Re: Registry Edit
 

UpdateKey is possibly overloaded, meaning in this case that the key type will be set as string because the value parameter (0) is a string. Remove the quotes. If that doesn't work, check the documentation for how to supply the type explicitly. However, I'm neither familiar with this function nor can I find any reference to it online, so perhaps it is just some random snippet you found. If so, perhaps you should find a better way to poke the registry.

See here for one option
