Status: offline 		I have a script where I write a reg key to the HKLM with XP. It is the basic standard script similar to this.


      

But when I try to write to Vista it never writes the key. Nothing happens, no error message anything.
Is there something different with Vista to write to HKLM? I can write to the HKLU user fine but not HKLM in Vista.

Status: offline 		I just tested this and it worked for me. Do you have UAC enabled? That could be causing the issue.

Status: offline 		Yes UAC is enabled. Unfortunately some will have UAC on when this is run. Can you elevate permissions or disable UAC with VB script?

I had the same problem and I fixedit like this.

If you realy need to work inside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, you will have to disable UAC or login as administrator.
