Registry Create
Quote from impactband4u on February 27, 2019, 1:07 pmHi guys
I try to see if a Folder in Registry exist and if not it must create a Folder. I want to save text files in that Folder.
I tried:
FolderExists "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MyFolder""[Result1]" If "[Result1]""=""True" Else CreateFolder "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MyFolder EndIfbut it gives me a error: Unable to create directory.
Where is the problem and is it possible to write files into a Folder within Registry
Thank You

I don't understand what you want to achieve.
The Windows Registry stores configuration information for Windows and installed software, but not files.
The information is stored in the form of key-value pairs, and folders are used to organize the information.
Folders in the Windows Registry are not the same that folders in your hard drive.
Use RegistryRead and RegistryWrite commands to read and write to the registry.
Use FolderExists, CreateFolder, RemoveFolder etc. to work with folders in your hard drive.Exercise caution when modifying the Registry. If there is an error in the Registry, your computer (or your app user’s computer) may become nonfunctional.
Regards.
