Ok Ok!!! Chill now, I haven't asked any strange question this time.

This question is very strange, to refresh your system, you need to reboot your PC (after changing registery keys...). How does windows refreshing itself after an update? It just reboot..

To press F5 on tour desktop only refresh the 'explorer.exe' program, but not your system who's loaded on startup. To press F5 on your application will do anything Smile | :)

not even refresh your 'explorer' application.

Try to discover the basics of windows before trying to hack it...

Hi dear friends,

Please check out this code for editing the registry, I have tried this and it works fine:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using Microsoft.Win32;

namespace Editing_the_Registry
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey key;
            key = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey("Rajdeep");
            key.SetValue("MyString", "CreatedbyRajdeep");
            key.Close();
        }
    }
}

This piece of code just creates a Subkey called 'Rajdeep' in the HKEY_Current_User Key, and then creates a String value called 'MyString' within the SubKey 'Rajdeep' and sets the value data as 'CreatedbyRajdeep'.

But my issue is different. I want to change the value data of 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\MenuShowDelay\' to '200' from default '400'. It will speed up the Menu display from 400 milliseconds to 200 milliseconds, thus making the PC faster.

Your help will be truly appreciated,
Raj Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

PS: I am using Virtual PC, since MSDN suggests so.

The statement was syntactically correct. There was nothing wrong with your English. The statement was inaccurate.

For the love of God stop this you Doofus! I have never looked at these classes, but 0.003 secondds of intelisense gave me:

key = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("Is/this/difficult");
key.SetValue("OnlyWhenCalled", "Rajdeep");

Work the rest out yourself.

You simply have to open the key as writeable and then set the value you want to use.
In your case it would be like this:

RegistryKey key = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("Control Panel\\Desktop", true);
key.SetValue("MenuShowDelay", 200, RegistryValueKind.String);
key.Close();

But I agree with the poster above: this would've been very easy to find out on your own..

Thanks, this worked.

Previously I was doing this:

RegistryKey key = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("Control Panel\\Desktop");

But, I go exception like "UnauthorizedAccess...."

The true statement changed everything, its great. Thanks once again Calla. Rose | [Rose]

You have to stop. Changing your name won't do anything, people are still clearly able to see who you are by checking your history, or simply catching the idiocy in your posts.

Changing you name from Rajdeep.NET to x+y=xy?! is not going to help. You will still be an idiot
Changing your brain for one that works, now that would help.
