OT: Script question, Doug?
Doug,
I need to write a script to modify a registry entry of a given key with one of 3 values I will provide. The order it selects the new values isn't important, so long as it selects a different value each time. This can be a ..exe or .bat, as I will be dropping it into the windows startup. It doesn't need to be pretty, but must require minimal user intervention. Can this be done without a code compiler? The last coding I did was years ago with C++. I was thinking something like pull the existing key and load into a variable, then compare the variable against a rule set and replace it accordingly. (script grabs value, assigns name 'value') 1 = "jeep" IF value="jeep" GOTO 2 2 = "wrangler" IF value="wrangler" GOTO 3 3 = "cherokee" IF value="cherokee" GOTO 1 (script replaces value) Some pointers would be great..

Doug,
Here's what I've got so far. Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Title = objShell.RegRead _ ("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet_Explorer\Main\W indow") If Title = "Carl2" Then Wscript.regwrite "carl3" Else Wscript.regwrite "carl7" End If The problem is that no matter what combinaton I use to enter my path, it says not found...

I don't have that key in mine fwiw. Internet Explorer doesn't have an
underscore, and there is no Window underneath it.
