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..

Re: Script question, Doug?
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...
