VB .net 2008 registry entry problem

[bonifale]

Morning all

I'm going mad here. I have created a registry value to run an exe at login...

My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "GPIBControl", "C:\Program Files\GPIB Controller\GPIB Control.exe")

That works just fine but does anybody know how I can delete it?

I've tried..

My.Computer.Registry.CurrentUser.DeleteValue("GPIBControl")

and

My.Computer.Registry.CurrentUser.DeleteValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\GPIBControl")

to no avail. It returns a "No value exists with that name" error.

Any help much appreciated.


The actual function is pasted below.



Function ToggleRunAtLogin()

Dim Result As String
Try
Result = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "GPIBControl", Nothing)

If Result = Nothing Then
MsgBox("Run at login enabled")
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "GPIBControl", "C:\Program Files\GPIB Controller\GPIB Control.exe")
Else
MsgBox("Run at login disabled")
My.Computer.Registry.CurrentUser.DeleteValue("GPIBControl")
End If

Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try

End Function

Oh rats.....

Usual thing! worked it out after I posted.

The solution


My.Computer.Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", True).DeleteValue("GPIBControl")



Thanks anyway
