Re: Script question, Doug?

It's one of those customization tweaks.
objShell.RegWrite strKey,strValue,"REG_SZ"
^^^^^^^^ your using Wscript ^^^^^^^ indicates your writing a string value
in the Set command, you Set objShell. For example, if you did
Set beermug = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
then you would use
beermug.RegWrite ......
Hope this helps. I gotta get to $dayjob now.
