Re: Setting Registry Key Originally Posted by linder You only have to modify *one* value. No need to import the whole key structure.

Sometimes you can't see the forest through the trees. I appreciate SetupBuilder's ease of use, but there's a lot to take in all at once and my head is spinning. The registry key integrity feature is good information. Many Thanks!

Re: Setting Registry Key Originally Posted by linder Because this is a Internet Explorer question, the following is just my .02 I think you only have to change the following value data: User Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer Value Name: Download Directory Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value) Value Data: Qualified Directory Allow me to explain a little more carefully... Yes, the Download Directory registry key is the one that I want to change. I assume that because it already exists, I should import the registry and change it which will create the proper scripting. Unfortunately, under the [ Edit Registry ] section, it looks like the entire root key's changes are scripted - about 150 keys. This is what I'm doing: - Using regedit, export the registry to a file (testreg.reg) - Start up SetupBuilder Developer with a new (test) project - Select the Registry Tab - Right Mouse Click on "HKEY_CURRENT_USER", and [Import REG File...] - Navigate to the "Download Directory" key, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer, and change it NOW, when I switch to the "Script Editor" View, I have 150+ keys besides my "Download Directory" key. Every HKCU (HKEY_CURRENT_USER) registry key is specified to be set. I noticed that when I try to delete unimportant keys, SB5 deletes all the keys on a 'script' granularity. I am able to comment-out unimportant keys, but the task is burdensome for 150+ keys. Are there any tricks or procedures that I'm missing? Thx

Setting Registry Key I'm trying to change Internet Explorer's download directory by modifying the registry key. It looks like the granularity when changing a key is on the root key, is that right? 'cause just to change/save this one key, pulls down all the rest of the root key's info... about a hundred lines/keys. Is this correct, or am I missing something? Thx.
