Registry Variables

[Confused Amused]

Can you use system variables in a .reg file? I can't get %HOME% or %USERPROFILE% to work correctly....

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hummingbird\Connectivity\9.00\Exceed]
"UserDir"="\\\\SRVATD2\\HOME\\%USERPROFILE%\\Application Data\\Hummingbird\\Connectivity\\9.00\\Exceed\\"

Yes, although I would suggest you change

• %USERPROFILE%\\Application Data
  

to

• %APPDATA%
  

Your only problem then is what data type you want to use.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hummingbird\Connectivity\9.00\Exceed]
"UserDir"=

;Either example 1 - REG_SZ

"\\\\SRVATD2\\HOME\\%APPDATA%\\Hummingbird\\Connectivity\\9.00\\Exceed\\"

;Or example 2 - REG_EXPAND_SZ
hex(2)[colon]5c,5c,53,52,56,41,54,44,32,5c,48,4f,4d,45,5c,25,41,50,50,44,\
[two spaces]41,54,41,25,5c,48,75,6d,6d,69,6e,67,62,69,72,64,5c,43,6f,6e,6e,65,63,74,69,\
[two spaces]76,69,74,79,5c,39,2e,30,30,5c,45,78,63,65,65,64,5c,00

For example 2, you will need to replace the [colon] and [two spaces], with the appropriate symbols, it should also be on three lines only, the first two both ending with a backslash. This is due to a major problem with the forum rendering of html code.
