[Command] list-reg not sufficient? ...

Hi, I wanted to try Windows registry functions, but I can find the way it works insufficient ... eg. - inspired by virus, I wanted to check following section: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run 'Run tree node contains directly some info + one subnode. list-reg function returns only that subnote. That way, we can't build dynamic system - there is no way of how to obtain listing of items, unless we know their name: ->> list-reg/hklm "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" == ["OptionalComponents"] while 'Run node itself contains lot's of stuff my machine runs after start ... ->> get-reg/hklm "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" "ICQ Lite" == "C:\Program Files\ICQLite\ICQLite.exe -minimize" ... get-reg is fine, but I need to explicitly know what the name (ID) of item is. .... I don't find it sufficient - list-reg should imo report also what is directly stored under "Run" node ... nor does it help to go one level up: ->> get-reg/hklm "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\" "Run" == none ... sending to feedback ... -pekr-

Look like they could add a refinement to tell what you want to list for a key, or add meta info so listing a key gives you details about what is inside a key. Frank's old registry functions work for all this IIRC. --Gregg

Hi Petr, PK> I imagined it could work as reading a directory... direct node items, as PK> in the case of "Run node, could be just strings, and subnodes could be PK> like dirs blabla/ It could work ... Think that's what Frank did, pretty much. The registry APIs should map well to a port idiom because you have to open a key, read from it, and close it. -- Gregg
