Hi

I probably should'nt ask this question in this forum, but I could not
find the proper forum/discussion to ask this and I really need to
figure this out very urgent.

I want to use a .reg file to make changes in the registry. I am trying
to change the (Default) string value that can be found at the top of
every key. I am not able to do this . I use the following code in my
..reg file to achieve this.


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Lotus
Notes\Shell\Open\Command]
"(Default)"="C:\\Program Files\\Lotus\\notes\\notes.exe
=i:\\Notes\\notes.ini"

But instead of changing the (Default) string value it adds a double
string value called (Default). How can I change the (Default) string
value using the .reg file??

Thank in advance

Hi

Thank you for replying. It worked , like you said!!

I have 1 more question. I want the string value to look like this in
the registry:

"C:\\Program Files\\Lotus\\notes\\notes.exe" "=i:\\Notes\\notes.ini"

How should the code look like in the .reg file to make the string value
look like that in the registry?

Regards

One might just enter it via regedit, then Export it to a REG
file and look...

If you mean *literally* the string you show,

[REDETIT4]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\LotusNotes\Shell\Open\Command]
@="\"C:\\\\Program Files\\\\Lotus\\\\notes\\\\notes.exe\" \"=i:\\\\Notes\\\\notes.ini\""


but I suspect there is no practical useage for such a string.
The point is however, that each backslash is escaped with a backslash
and the dbl-quote is also escaped with a backslash.

Since you posted this in a Win98 News Group the REG file needs to be as below...

Also from my research I found the Key is not.. "Mail\LotusNotes" it is "Mail\Lotus Notes"

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Lotus Notes\Shell\Open\Command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Lotus\\notes\\notes.exe=i:\\Notes\\notes.ini"

or

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Lotus Notes\Shell\Open\Command]
@="\"C:\\\\Program Files\\\\Lotus\\\\notes\\\\notes.exe\" \"=i:\\\\Notes\\\\notes.ini\""


or


REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Lotus Notes\Shell\Open\Command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Lotus\\notes\\notes.exe =i:\\Notes\\notes.ini"


So it will all depend on what YOU are trying to do, what platforms you need to do it on
(Win9x/ME and Win2K/WinXP or just Win2K/WinXP) and what Lotus Notes actually is looking for
in the Registry to find the notes configuration file.
