Automation tool seems to run but doesn't change the registry

artsperry

I've created a tool with the following entries:

<RemoveFilesWithSubs> HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxHTML\shell\open\ddeexec HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxURL\shell\open\ddeexec HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTP\shell\open\ddeexec HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTPS\shell\open\ddeexe

When I run it, the dialog box says "done" but the registry keys I'm trying to delete are still there. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

The .reg file would look like this for the keys you posted:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

This line in a cmd window does what you want:

regedit /S C:\Firefox_dde_reg_files\Firefox_dde_remove.reg

* Firefox_dde_remove.reg is the .reg file in the previous post

* C:\Firefox_dde_reg_files\ is just where I put it for a test - you can put it where you want

* You could use the PowerTools Startup Manager to set up regedit /S C:\Firefox_dde_reg_files\Firefox_dde_remove.reg (or whatever you choose to call the location) to run when windows starts

* Or you could set up a regedit shortcut with a Target something like this:
C:\Windows\regedit.exe /S "C:\Firefox_dde_reg_files\Firefox_dde_remove.reg"
