Help Changing a registry entry

Jack Flint

February 13, 2017 22:24

I've executed the following line in a CMD line and it works perfectly:

Reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Colors" /v Background /t REG_SZ /d "0 0 0" /f

However when I execute it as a PDQ command it has no effect.

I checked the registry before and after, etc. The command line works, the PDQ command does not. What am I doing wrong?

In case anyone wonders why I doing this. I've deployed bginfo as a startup command and it does not play well with some background pictures. So I'm setting the default background color to black, with no wallpaper. I am open to a better solution.

Did you set "Run As" to "Logged on User"? You are pointing at the Current User hive, so it will only affect the deployment user.
