Adding extra registry data in TD

[Nigel Walker]

I wanted to enable the sharing tab on the context menu when right-clicking
my C drive so in TD I added the following additional registry data:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ProperySheetHandlers\sharing(default) REG_SZ
{f81e9010-6ea4-11ce-a7ff-00aa003ca9f6}

After I have built the target image and booted up the target machine and
look with Regedit, I get this entry OK but it is always preceded by another
entry above it:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ProperySheetHandlers\sharing(default) REG_SZ
(value not set)

This seems to have the effect of disabling the effect of the registry entry.
If I manually delete that extra entry, it works fine.

I didn't know if you need to add an extra entry in TD which was a "key only"
so I tried that but I had the same result.

What am I doing wrong?

Nigel.

Nigel,

How do you add the "default" value?

Basically, when you want to create the default value for a key you just have to add a reg.entry and leave the ValueName blank.
(also, go to ComponentVSGUID property and generate a proper GUID there to avoid warnings during build).
