Default Registry Problems....


I am trying to set a registry value that has a path unique to every windows machine. The value enables and disables pictures to appear in internet explorer. I did this successfully on my machine, but cannot figure out how to retrieve the pathname to set the the value on any machines that the program runs.

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3646181656-104724495-1602489464-1004\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Display Inline Images


The path will be identical on all machines with the exception of:

S-1-5-21-3646181656-104724495-1602489464-1004


Any help finding this path or any other ideas on how to set this value would be great! Thanks

Are you setting the value for the currently logged in user or for another (not logged in) user?

Try HKEY_CURRENT_USER if its the former.

Good Luck
