Write a value to the Registry
Syntax
WshShell.RegWrite strRegName, anyValue, [strType]
Arguments:
strRegName :
To set a key instead of a value terminate strRegName
with a backslash character \
strRegName must start with one of
HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKCU
HKEY_USERS
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKLM
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT or HKCR
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
strType :
The data type can be optionally specified as one of
REG_SZ, REG_EXPAND_SZ, (String values)
REG_DWORD (convert to Integer value)
REG_BINARY (Integer value)
When you specify a key-name (as opposed to a value-name),
RegRead returns the default value.
Example

WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\IconTitleFaceName", "MS Sans Serif"
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\ScriptEngine\Key\", 1 "REG_DWORD"
