Re: Reg key type

You don't actualy "set" the type, it based on how you enter the data:

eg:

ROOT:Local Machine
Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines
Name:SandBoxMode
Value:#00000002

ROOT:Local Machine
Key: Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\Security
Name:Level
Value:#00000001

Note how the "#" before the number represnets REG_DWORD

The data types are outlined here:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371168.aspx

we see:

Prefix       #x
The value is interpreted and stored as a hexadecimal value
(REG_BINARY).

Prefix #%
The value is interpreted and stored as an expandable string
(REG_EXPAND_SZ).

Prefix #
The value is interpreted and stored as an integer (REG_DWORD).
