Restoring a Registry Setting thru VBS

Dec 19th, 2004

anyone know how to get around this:

WshShell.RegWrite "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command\", ""%1"%
*"

I cant seem to include more than 2 " at the end there if i just do "%1 %
*" then it will succesfully write to the registry but it needs the extra 2 " in there & i dont know how to get around that, anyone know???

WshShell.RegWrite "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command\", chr(34) & "%1" & chr(34) & "%*"

the chr(asc) function returns the character represented by the ascii code passed to it. 34 happens to be the ascii double quote character. So, You terminate your string, use concantenation ( the & ) to append the character code 34 (double quotes) to your string.
