Problem reading registry key

[Mahbub]

Hi All,

I am using XP-SP2, Version 2002. I have written one script (vbscript) to read the registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Disable Script Debugger". The problem is, if it is already set to "yes" it's returning "no" and also modifying the key value to "no". But while it's value is "no" it returns same e.g. "no" only. How can I read this key.

Perhaps I've got your intentions wrong but why are you writing a script to disable script debugger in IE?

Script debugging can be disabled/enabled in Advanced Internet Options in the Tools menu in IE.

I'm not a VB Scripter but I looked up an example script on reading registry values and made this up and it works for me. Of coarse you must have that key in your registry.

Option Explicit
Dim objShell
Dim strYesORNo, strIEScriptDebug

strYesORNo = "Disable Script Debugger"


strIEScriptDebug = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\"

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

strYesORNo = objShell.RegRead(strIEScriptDebug & strYesORNo)

Wscript.Echo "Disable Script Debugger = " & strYesORNo

WScript.Quit

I want the same as because I am trying to write a SupportAction which does everything programmatically. I have already written vbscript code to read the registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Disable Script Debugger". The funny thing is that the value of this key modifies automatically to "no" if the previous value is "yes". But the reverse is not happening. This behaviour also varies from system to system. I am using XP-SP2, Version 2002. I have tested the same in XP-SP2, Version : 2149, there is no problem in that.
