Remote registry: root key HKEY CURRENT USER not supported? 30 May 2013, 21:44

Hi,

I can only read reg keys from root HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE & HKEY_USERS
I would like to read a key from root HKEY_CURRENT_USER

Regards

It's not supported because there is no current user when you connect remotely.

What if there is no user logged on the target computer? In this case HKEY_CURRENT_USER would be undefined.

What if there are two or more users logged on the target computer? In this case HKEY_CURRENT_USER would be undefined as well.

Besides HKEY_USERS contains everything you need anyway. -WS
