Where is the script? Like Lonkero suggests - In the FAQ, there is an ABC Document..
First of all - What? What registry Key(s)? We cannot guess what you are trying to do.
Second - Why? Why is this needed?
Third - Who? Who is your target audience? Do they have rights to change these keys?
quote:
and i can't use reg edit.
We get a partial answer with this - if the client cannot use Regedit, then there is a policy/GPO been implemented on these users. I would start there, rather than hacking the Registry.

here is a part of the script i am going to use.
If InGroup ("Test groep")
$Desktop=ReadValue('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders','Desktop')
$server=@LSERVER
If 0=Exist($Destkop)
Copy "\\%logonserver%\slkplgn" $Desktop
If @ERROR = 0
? "je kunt gaan werken op je pc."
Sleep 20
Else
? "er is iets fout gegaan"
Sleep 5
EndIf
EndIf
If KeyExist ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\NonEnum")
? "we doen niks"
Else
AddKey ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\NonEnum")
WriteValue ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\NonEnum","{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}","1","REG_DWORD")
AddKey ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\NonEnum")
WriteValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\NonEnum","{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}","1","REG_DWORD")
EndIf
but yes we have policies but what i want to change is not change able with a policy.
i know that we have to change the keys stated above.
what am i doing wrong here.

The macro @LServer and the environment variable %LOGONSERVER% will both return a fully-qualified path (e.g. "\\lserver"), thus the following line has an error in it's syntax:
code:
Copy "\\%logonserver%\slkplgn" $Desktop
Try...
code:
Copy @LSERVER+"\slkplgn" $Desktop
...instead.

You are missing a final ENDIF..
quote:
Warning KIXSTRIP: 1 error in block structure. missing statement(s).
- do:until [0:0]
- for|each:in|to:step|next [0|0:0|0:0|0]
- function:endfunction [0:0]
-ERROR- - if:else:endif [4:2:3]
- select:case:endselect [0:0:0]
- while:loop [0:0]
4 block_structures found.
Informative KIXSTRIP: no UDF's found.
Warning KIXSTRIP: some lines contains errors or possible errors.
This is confusing.. Are you meaning to say that there is no desktop?
IF 0=Exist($destkop)
Again, this really needs to be a GPO and Jens is right in the Registry Key containing "Policies" is a red-flag to this.
HTH,
Kent

Your problem is, that you are adjusting a Shell Policy. Before it is applied, the shell must be restarted.
Try this:
code:
.
.
.
Else
$Ret=WriteValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\NonEnum","{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}","1","REG_DWORD")
$Ret=FindProc("Explorer.exe",,1)
EndIf
Exit
;*** FindProc, curtesy Radimus
FUNCTION FindPROC($PROC,optional $COMPUTER, optional $terminate)
dim $GetObject, $Select
if not $computer $computer=@wksta endif
$GetObject="winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!//$COMPUTER"
$select="select * from Win32_Process where Name='$PROC'"
For each $Process in GetObject("$GetObject").ExecQuery("$select")
if $terminate $Ret=$Process.Terminate endif
$FindPROC=$Process.ProcessId
Next
ENDFUNCTION
Note that the user might not have write privilege to write in Local Machine, and is not needed.
And btw, Yes it can be done with a Policy (you have to write the adm template yourself, though).
Best regards

Dear,
We suggest that you decrease your SLEEP values. Twenty seconds to wait for a simply
message "everything is ok" can be very frustrating for users. Generally everybody
can read those information within five seconds.
greetings.

I am becoming a convert to GPO/Policy... Too many registry hacks really muddy the water. I am with Les on this one.
If it is appropriate to edit the Registry, then by all means..
I am off my soapbox now!
