TReg32 - Vista elevation

[Davide]

Hello guys,

I need to change some registry values which requires Admin rights on Vista.

Do you know some API I can call to request such elevation when I need it instead of asking the user to run my program "As Admin" ?

Thank you,
Davide

I've solved it creating a .reg file and shellexecuting it.

Thank you anyway.

Davide,

Would you mind to show the reg file contents ? Or a sample ? Thanks!

It's as simple as creating a text file like:

Code: Select all  Expand view

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName]
"ComputerName"="WKS005"


I suggest you using a different reg key for testing (really changing the computer name might not be desirable), then:

Code: Select all  Expand view

ShellExecute(0,"open","regedit","/s myfile.reg","",1)

You could even shellexecute directly the reg file, but then regedit would popup a lot of confirmations.
