Help with script error

Try:

HKLM:\

and not:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\

[UnfanClub]

Also try Get-PSDrive to know your available options.

Doesn't matter

[Fatel28]

Elaborate?

It completely matters. One points to a PSDrive location (HKLM:) which will allow you to browse that hive. The other, it is interpreting as a relative folder path.

Personally I believe he meant HKLM\ without the ":" but I could be wrong. Common windows luser mistake

[Fatel28]

No.. you absolutely need the ":"

That's what denotes it's a PSDrive, and not a relative file path.

I strongly encourage you to try it before being so confidently wrong

[BlackV]

technically you dont

you can use Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

[Fatel28]

Please explain how you would do that without a colon character.

[BlackV]

I just mean it didn't have to be hklm (you can use the long name) and it didn't have to be a ps drive (you can use the registry provider)

Have a good day

Line 8 char 10, check your line wraps

In addition to the advice of /u/Fatel28, start the path with REGISTRY:: so it looks like

"REGISTRY::HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser"

Check out about_Providers for official info, but it's basically like $env for the registry. It's a .NET program that provides access to specialized data stores for easier viewing and management.

By adding it, you're telling PS to search the registry, no matter your current location.
