JAE Notes on using the registry.


 

4. Tip of the month -- March 99 from Component Source: :

Want a quick way to register Dll's and OCX's? (Win 95/98)
Create a shortcut to Regserver and place it in your "SendTo" directory.
Find regsvr32.exe in your "windows/system" directory. Select it by clicking
once, right click, select "copy" from the menu.
Now browse back to your "windows/sendto" directory. While in the Explorer
window, right click and select "paste shortcut" from the menu.
That's it. Now whenever you are in Explorer, you can select an Activex Dll
or OCX, right click, select "Send To" and regsvr32 will appear as a
destination.

Working with the Registry in VBScript/JavaScript with Windows Script Hosting (built into NT5 (aka Windows 2000).  You can also download and use the scripting host in NT 4 and 95 from here:  http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/hosting/hosting.htm   The following samples were downloaded from that page. 

We also like to use the WISE utilities ( www.glbs.com   ) to tweak ini files and the registry.
