HKEY_Users

[andrewcrawford]

Does anyoen know how to tdetect what teh current S-1-5-21-* is because one of my serial is required to add to the hkey users but since it keeps changing every time then it doesnt detect it probally in fact i think it is preventing my reg entryt adding.

Hi.

I have been working on my own way of intergrateing programs into Windows XP which is taking me hours if not days to do because of all the registry entries i have to change so that i can intergrate them into the HIVE files.

One of them was Serials ect that go into HKU, to get them to go into HKU you will need to find the same location in the HKCU and add the string value there.

For Example (PowerISO)

For PowerISO the serial is located here in HKU:

HKU,"S-1-5-21-1482476501-926492609-682003330-500\Software\PowerISO",,0x00000012

HKU,"S-1-5-21-1482476501-926492609-682003330-500\Software\PowerISO","User Name",0x00000001,(Serial Number)

And in HKCU:

HKCU,"Software\PowerISO",,0x00000012

HKCU,"Software\PowerISO","User Name",0x00000001,(Serial Number)

So just put the string from HKU into HKCU and when you start the program it will automaticly create the HKU strings and also copy the Serial too.

The way i install all my programs now is through INF files and then add all the registry entries to the HIVE files. Then i add an entry in the SysSetup.inf which will install my programs. As you will not be able to uninstall them by doing it this way (unless you include the uninstall strings) i only do it with programs that i use the most.

If you would like to know how i do this then send me a pm and i will explain it to you and also upload an example of one of the programs i install through INF files. I must warn you that it can take hours just to one program due to the registry entries.

Hope this helps.

This wil help:

GOTO main

:modkey

REM %1 is the value of %a that is passed.

REG ADD "HKU\%1\Software\PowerISO" /v "Name" /t REG_SZ /d "Value" /f

REG ADD "HKU\%1\Software\PowerISO" /v "Name" /t REG_SZ /d "Value" /f

REM Going to :end here only ends this instance of the call to the

REM :modkey label. It does not end the whole batch file.

GOTO end

:main

FOR /F "tokens=2* delims=\" %%a IN ('REG QUERY HKU ^|Findstr /R "S-1-5-[0-9]*-[0-9-]*$"') DO CALL :modkey %%a

GOTO end

:end

Works for me.
