[THIN] Re: Using %username% in registry files

Thanks to all that replied.

This worked well.

I didn't try the Expandable String value.

The %%username%% did not work.

Worst case you can generate the reg file from script:

@echo off
echo Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 > tmp.reg
echo [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Telelogic] >> tmp.reg
echo "DICTIONARY"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\%username%\\dictionary" >> tmp.reg
regedit /s tmp.reg
echo y |del tmp.reg

Hi all, is there a way to use the %username% variable in reg files? Something like:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Telelogic]
"DICTIONARY"="C:\Documents and Settings\\%username%\dictionary"

After running it, the "%username%" is entered in their registry.  What's the correct syntax?

Thanks,
